Ed, I agree. A guy like Craig hanging out at ACTV when he could have had a great run with EarthWeb definitely lends credit to the company and provides some comfort to me. Obviously, he is a believer in his technology and is confident in its potential with ACTV and its partners. Reflecting on the past few days has revealed how crazy most of us are about this company. Those who have touched the technology know what I'm talking about. We are like piranhas chewing up every piece of news and needing more every day to reinforce our positions. Sitting back and watching other industry plays reaping the benefit of effective marketing with lessor technologies furthers enhances our frustration. In my opinion, today's news will hopefully change things a bit in our favor. We hired an industry expert in the advertising arena. Think about this for a moment, Mr. Cohen's resume highlights some very impressive past positions within the broadcasting industry that are now staples in our everyday TV viewing experience. To me the addition of Mr. Cohen to our team represents both an opportunity to aggressively exploit the revenue benefits from advertising, but in addition provides us internally with and expert to enhance the quality of our corporate directive. Mr. Cohen obviously understands the importance of being in front of the customer and I hope he will share this discipline with ACTV and overcome the current inertia. SH
