In that case Jeff, we need to generate our own publicity. How about some forward looking press releases, particularly ones concerning how GNET/SI will fit into the Paul Allen/Charter Communications universe. The lack of news-any news- is hurting the shareholder value and some idea of what the future holds would be reassuring. Up to this point, you guys and the GNET group have done a great job; however, when a stock loses almost 50% of it's value the average investor gets concerned. Your intervention at this time would go a long way towards proving the following:

1. there is a master plan, and it is on track
2. Leadership is aware of the loss of shareholder value and working towards solving it
3. GNET/SI/Paul Allen care about their investors

Regards,

Sleeper

GNET >>> Great NEWS - Mention by CBS Market Watch

Broadband potential

Allen's investments in broadband technology are also of interest to Datek, Nicoll said.

"The broadband aspect to this is very intriguing," Marks said. Allen's cable assets are linked into "a huge swath of households ... If cable winds up winning, (Allen's) got the chance to deliver Datek a pretty significant portion of U.S. households."

Vulcan Ventures has a controlling stake in go2net (GNET: news, msgs), which operates the popular Silicon Investor chat site. The fund has also spent $9 billion on Marcus Cable, Charter Communications and portions of InterMedia.

"Silicon Investor, together with Datek, could create a pretty powerful financial portal, and then you add all the broadband potential." said Lallos
