Robert, Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of this company and this industry, values each and everyone of your posts. It is a shame that some people because of their lack of understanding and insight choose to talk(write) when they should listen. Read anyone of Ron Harvey's posts to get a basic understanding of what I mean. As for Frank Gorenstein, don't let him bother you. Citing posts from 1997 that were accurate based on the information available at that time is ludicrous. Sometimes when you are just trying to be helpful you can get accused of hyping on this thread. Then for whatever reason they spew their venom at you. Here's what Frank aimed at me last Sept. 21. He was starting to scare me at that time. He seemed to be very confused for a prolonged period. #2925: "Steve, I understand the intent of the JV, as to the details, they have not been made public. If you know more than the rest of us, speak up, if not, shut up. Enough hype, as I said, IMHO I think Samuels made the best deal he could at point in time. Short term we are winners and maybe the next gap up I will sell. The jury is still out on the long term deal, let's see what the SEC filing has to say about the 10% ownership and the option to invest $5 million more." Is there anyone out there in lala land who would like to say that the Liberty deal was not a great deal for both parties. "..made the best deal he could." It was a wonderful deal. Look at HITS last announcement. Try plugging in the JV revenue potential from that alone. Malone wants this stock to start cooking. ATHM numbers sooner rather than later. This is the thoroughbred in his stable of horses. If anyone disagrees, fine I could care less. Most of the people out there know what kind of numbers that I expect to see from this company. For what its worth, Malone and Samuels have the same expectations. Robert, the worst thing that you could do to the people who rip into you on the thread is to simply stop posting. That, unfortunately, would be a shame for the vast majority of people who treasure your posts. As for me, I don't care if anyone out there cares to scroll down my past posts. Maybe I haven't been 100% correct in my past assessments but there isn't anyone else who has been any better. Steve
