Here is a copy of the email I sent to the Woodward and Bernstein wannabes at the Vancouver Sun. I encourage everyone else to write them as they continue to libel Starnet. Are there any other legal means we can take to persuade them to stop libeling the company? vancouversun.com Dear Sirs and Madame, I am a shareholder in Starnet Communications. You seem to want to smear the accused individuals in the recent political scandal in you country with an association to Starnet (the implied evil pornographer). In fact, you are doing a disservice to the shareholders of Starnet by unfairly linking the company so closely with this scandal. I suggest to you that on account of the business that Starnet did with the Number 5 Orange Club, the accused individuals became interested in the company and bought some shares (as you yourselves may wish if you bother to study its prospects as the leader in the online gaming industry). At the time Mr. Ng owned his 25,000 shares (which he sold), it was trading at LESS THAN A DOLLAR A SHARE. This is relatively small time investing in as much as I have 7,000 Starnet shares, for instance, that are worth more than $25K. I would not say my influence on the operations of the company is really very great...would you? Unless you have more proof other than the "guilt by association" you seem to specialize in, would you please stop smearing the company with blatant insuations of wrongdoing. In other words, either put up or shut up...I don't think you really have any more bullets than you've already shot at the company...except for the sensationalism you can milk from the sex angle. I'm going to inform many of the other shareholders through the internet talk groups to see what we can do to persuade you to stop libeling the company. ragingbull.com and Subject 17211 and messages.yahoo.com m2&msgid=75drqs$4gk$2@m2.yahoo.com&type=date&first=1 What is your response to Starnet's denial of your "guilt by association" tack?...That you can publicly pronounce whatever half truths you wish? investor.msn.com 5,BW0144 BTW, Starnet has been actively trying to sell the pornography part of their business for months. I believe your reporting in this regard is self-serving demagoguery. Why don't you tell the whole story...wouldn't be as juicy, huh? Why don't you temper your sanctimony with some ethics? Sincerely, Dave Green
