Question to anyone on this thread. Is the following old news here ? If true "Now Read By Over 140,000 CyberInvestors Weekly", seems like lots of people will now jump in. HE RAGING BULL'S CYBERSTOCK INVESTOR REPORT "Your Weekly Internet Stock Newsletter" June 18, 1999 "Now Read By Over 140,000 CyberInvestors Weekly" Editor: Matthew W. Ragasragingbull.com MessageMedia (MESG) have watched their stock prices languish at very terrestrial levels. One can almost imagine the employees of Boulder, Colo., company quietly humming "R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me" in their cramped cubicles each day. The e-messaging firm is the Rodney Dangerfield of Internet infrastructure players. No respect, no respect. Even after shelling out $46 million last week to acquire e-mail marketing firm RevNet Systems and $50 million the following day to scoop up e-mail customer feedback firm Decisive Technology, no one seems to be taking notice of MessageMedia. Even the initial public offering of e-mail services firm Mail.com (MAIL) earlier today and the planned IPO of related e-mail services firm USA.net next week have done little to stimulate investor interest in MessageMedia. Aretha Franklin's call for respect continues to go unanswered for the company, but after its recent moves I find it very likely that the Street will soon be forced to take notice of this particular child from the Softbank family of Net companies. The e-messaging toddler will be making too much noise via acquisitions and organic growth to be ignored. A child of Softbank The firm was originally founded as First Virtual Holdings, a secure online payment firm. ............ Doug
