I think Russell needs to be better prepared for CNBC interviews. Haines and CNBC staff ALWAYS ask a few "challenging" type questions of their guests. So message is be prepared for them and use the questions to bring out company positives which haven't been asked about. Notice how the skilled politicians and great CEOs have these skills. Russell is very impressive for such a young guy so he needs to learn from this experience and improve. He should get the help of a good PR oriented coach on this aspect of his developement. Russell if you read this, please take this as a constructive suggestion from a GNET shareholder. GREAT quarter!!!!! On the Haines question of not seeing ads on GNET sites everywhere, Russell could have commented that eg. on SI, which has XXX number of paying members, members are spared ads as part of their membership. Haines I believe is an SI member so may have formed his impression from surfing SI. Russell comment about seeing future growth opportunity from adblank pages was a good one. Haines and staff except for Insona are very poor interviewers. CNBC staff who prepare them for the interviews must be very young/rookies. Mark Haines if you read this I love you baby and watch you every day, but in your heart of hearts you too much cringe at the piddling amount of budget support GE/NBC gives to CNBC. Meanwhile I don't think the whole interview was as responsible as "sell on the news" for yesterday's downdraft on GNET. best of luck to all ........Bill
