It's been a while since I have been called a "tyke," but I guess it's all relative. Assuming you have more grey hair than I do, I'll let it go. 8)
Out of respect for the literary and humoristic value of our exchange on the Sister Site, particularly its happy if O'Henry-esque ending, I have decided to let you know over here that I jumped the gun in diagnosising my modem problem as "whoops....duhhhh!"
Shortly after we finished our exchange, and with the modem securely plugged in, I assure you, the lights went out again. I wasn't able to get it to work again for the entire evening, and only recently got back online. [In fact, while writing this, it went out again and has taken me about two hours to get back online!]
So, back to the drawing board for me. Going to call Cox I guess.

Xanth,
A good series of books, but written more for the 13-18 year old sci-fi fan. After you get to the 4th or 5th book in the series, you begin to get deja vous. Each book follows the exact same story outline.
For a real sci-fi mind trip, that can be read in a day or two, may I recommend Michael Moorecock's "Behold The Man."

Well, my OPINION is as follows:
The stock is not trading, it just hasn't been removed from the Pink Sheets. The reason it hasn't been removed is because there is is no company, or anyone running it. There is nobody to remove it. WINR has no presence in the U.S. whatsoever. Its corporate existance has expired; there are no U.S. offices. It is a ghost.
There is no WINR to buy. It is like trying to buy the Tooth Fairy. It is a pyramid scheme. If you get an order filled, you have purchased nothing but somebody else's folly.
The early incorporators, insiders and investors are names that can be found in the history of several failed and questionable OTCBB stocks. Never trust a BB stock that was incorporated in Utah or Nevada.
Many if not most of the companies that promoted or featured WINR were found to have been illegal touts....Global Penny Stocks, Christine Skousen, Stockreporter.de, and now Tom Calendra is under investigation too.
WINR has itself been under investigation ever since the Stockreporter problem. As far as I know, it is still an open investigation, although I don't expect that anyone is actively working on it.
Oehri, who was the last man standing on the Board of Directors, is probably afraid to touch it. Its only value to him is the fact that some people still remember that in 2000 he sold 19% of his company, SupraNet AG (a Liechtenstein ISP and parent company to other Oehri companies such as LIE-Net) to WINR. This would be WINR's only asset, and a valuable one. However, I am told through the grapevine that Oehri now claims that WINR somehow has lost its ownership interest. There has never been an explanation as to how that could be. As long as Oehri controls WINR and keeps it in Liechtenstein, there is very little chance that anybody will ever know what happened.
So, there you have it.
Fair enough.
What do you want to know?
CBS MarketWatch's Calandra Quits Over Informal SEC Probe
Thursday, January 22, 2004 04:36 PM ET
The Wall Street Journal Online
Financial-news publisher MarketWatch.com Inc. (MKTW, news) said Thom Calandra, the writer of a stock-picking subscription newsletter, has resigned in the face of internal and Securities and Exchange Commission inquiries into his trading activities.
Larry Kramer, MarketWatch's chairman and chief executive, said in an interview that Mr. Calandra submitted his resignation Thursday rather than submit documents about his trading. Mr. Kramer said the company had set a deadline of Thursday for receiving the documents, which it requested last month in response to the SEC's informal inquiry.
The SEC has asked MarketWatch, based in San Francisco, for information about the company's policies for its editorial staff's equity trading, as well as any internal communications specifically about Mr. Calandra's trading, Mr. Kramer said. He added that the company is fully cooperating with the SEC inquiry, which the company said in a statement began in October 2002.........

'Like a drug addiction'
It's still the small investor's game
By Thom Calandra, CBS MarketWatch
Last Update: 4:22 PM ET Mar 13, 2000 FTMarketWatch.com
Thom's biography
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- It's still a small investor's game, for good or bad. Even with the world's stock markets taking it on the chin Monday, it's still happy-hunting grounds for investors in the tiniest of companies.
As one Wall Street analyst was brave enough to point out the other day: "Over-the-counter Bulletin Board volume has grown exponentially in recent months. We attribute the gains to the persistent influx of online traders and the widening of speculative fever." That was Internet brokerage analyst Greg Smith at Chase Hambrecht & Quist. Daily volumes for the high-flying bulletin-board stocks, which some folks call the penny-stock market, are running 1.1 billion shares a day vs. 323 million shares a day in 1999, Smith said in his report.
Folks, that's why small is big these days. Most Wall Street investment banks -- and many of the traditional financial publications -- are loath to tell you about the micro-cap stocks. That's because the big brokers and market makers don't make any money off companies whose shares trade for 50 cents apiece.
Smith, in his report, said total over-the-counter bulletin-board share volume is up 366 percent from a year ago. That's a robust market.
* * * [text deleted]
Another tiny stock, Winners Internet Network (WINR: news, msgs), was up 16 percent Monday afternoon. The Florida company, which owns stakes in European Internet service providers and is developing on-line transaction processing systems, will list its bulletin-board stock on Germany's Hamburg Stock Exchange. The Hamburg exchange will start spotlighting bulletin-board stocks. Winners Internet Network shares are up about 11-fold since early December.
Small is big, even in a rocky market.

I don't believe that Matt will delete my messages.
He may delete yours, but that seems to be another issue altogether.
Well, I wouldn't say there has been silence.
At the time, I PM'd IHUB about the issue, received a quick response and was told that the issue would be addressed.
That is about all I could have asked for at the time, and was satisfied.
Just found it, it came here at Ihub in July.
it obviously was intended for me
Course, it would be hard to say he was looking for somebody with an "L" in their handle!
No big deal, just a little odd.
I received the same PM many months ago (not sure if it was here or SI) only difference was the first paragraph where he wrote that it was "supposed to go to one having "aho" in his handle and I am not sure which one, if you do not "Cyber-know" me (Zeev Hed), it is probably not intended for you, so just disregard the following.. . ."
I PM'd him back wondering why he was sending solicitations to people with "aho" in their handles, and he told me his friend had given him an alias of somebody over the phone, but in his haste his writing wasn't legible, sorry, please disregard, etc.
Last I heard from him.

When you choose to reply to a post of mine, expect me to reply back
Okay. I am anxiously awaiting your reply.
I didn't choose you, you volunteered.
That's my point. Where you live, it is probably perfectly acceptable to use words like faggot and ethnic slurs like raghead, but when you post here, your words are traveling around the world.
Where I live, those terms are not even close to being okay. I find them offensive. When people use them, I let them know I don't like it.
Adios.
I haven't heard somebody say "you started it" to me in about thirty years. Am I supposed to say, "did not!"
I'm sure where you live, Phil, in the back woods with mysterious banjo music playing in the background, it is perfectly acceptable to sit around with your cousins and tell "faggot jokes."
But now you have an wider audience, with full sets of teeth too!
I don't argue with fools.
Put up what, exactly?
Phil,
Why don't we talk about this after you sober up a little, eh?
You are an ignorant, sick person.
I believe the study finds the following psychological factors to be highly correlated to political conservatism:
Fear and aggression
Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
Uncertainty avoidance
Need for cognitive closure
Terror management
But now that you mention it, maybe "control freak" sums it up nicely.
Read this first, then you'll understand how to get your point across.

With that post, I just figured out the proper way to pronounce your alias.
Before, I always thought the first letter of your name was a capital i, as in i-own-umba, and had no clue what it meant.
Now I see the RI reference, and get it. How many digits you got on your plate?

I think Bob said he was abandoning the oracle, so maybe they will work right again. As it is, they are fun, but not very functional unless you can say all you need in one line.
Well, if such a thing existed, somebody might have fired one off shortly after Bob made his announcement, and it might be working just fine.
Here's my guess.
Ihub will become the financial message board component of a larger, "monster" sized message board portal that will host (for a reasonable annual fee) message boards for anybody, whether a company, non-profit, local government, support group, etc.
Such as:
http://www.StopSmokingSupport.talkzilla.com
http://www.SaveTheBay.talkzilla.com
And BTW and IMHbuteducatedO, if that is not part of the new business plan, it should be.
Would making the toggling of filters a lot easier solve the problem? I'm thinking along the lines of a new button right below the top menu, that would change back and forth between "Filters On" and "Filters Off".
Great idea. Solves my problem.
mlsoft
I agree with you on this.
I have about twenty people filtered, not because I don't like them, just because they add too much meaningless noise for me to scroll through. Every now and then, though, I want to read a filtered post that someone replied to. This used to work, but now it doesn't.
Also, I noticed that your post shows that you replied to "None" rather than to Matt. So, he may not find your post until he reads through everything. In any event, I think this is one for Bob, since he made the change to the filters.

<<Email from Skinner, in regards to a question I sent him last Tuesday;
David,
One quick question this morning and then I'll leave you alone. In your Email yesterday you alluded to the fact that a mm has been chosen to file a 211 for re-listing:
The company has been working with a MM in order to have WINR placed back on the OTC:BB. This was an extensive search due to the many 'requests' made by MM's in order to file the application. I agree this is the number 1 priority
with the company and it is being treated in the same fashion.
Has this been accomplished and filing underway? If so, what kind of timeframe do you think we are looking at regarding being re-listed? Our price seems to be responding well since it bottomed out, and this re-listing action could go a
long way towards regaining market share we had lost.
Joe
Dear Joe,
WINR has made the re-listing the number 1 priority, followed closely by adding new companies to utilize the WINR e-swipe technology.
In regards to a 'time frame' all I can state is what has been presented to the company. The form is submitted to the NASD and they will either respond with comments or a clearance. If there are comments they must be responded to within 180 days. I can assure you that if WINR received comments they would be answered immediately. The NASD will also check with the SBO of the SEC to verify that WINR has cleared comments from the acquisition of Glennaire. Once this is completed by the NASD the company will be cleared to trade on the OTC:BB
I hope this answers your questions. As always please feel free to email me with any questions or comments and I will respond as time permits.
Regards,

<<Email from Skinner this morning:
Dear Joe,

comments you may have and I will answer them as time permits.
WINR and SupraNet had been negotiating with a new company whose business
plan projected $100,000 per month or more in processing. We have talked to
dozens of companies who had plans of processing anywhere from $100,000 per
month to $5-$10 million per month in their operations. In the past WINR
would look to project what type of revenue we would derive from these
contracts. The facts are that some of these companies, with their models and
business plans, never were able to open and begin operation and the ones
that were in operation didn't match their revenue projections. We decided to
not include any type of projections or information until the sites were
operational and or had a track record of revenues we could report accurately
on.
The company has been working with a MM in order to have WINR placed back on
the OTC:BB. This was an extensive search due to the many 'requests' made by
MM's in order to file the application. I agree this is the number 1 priority
with the company and it is being treated in the same fashion.

Subject: RE: Premiere Pay
David,
Good morning. Hope your day is going well. First, I would like to tell you that I am not trying to be a nuisance, but I would like to email you every
week or two and try to stay abreast of what is going on. Secondly, anything you state to me that you don't want posted on a message thread, just say so and it won't be done. There is an extensive grapevine linking winr investors all over the world, I think you would be very surprised how far reaching it is. A couple of quick questions;
Through the grapevine, I have been informed of a recently signed(last couple of months) contract that will generate in the neighborhood of $100,000 per month for Winr. Why hasn't this been announced?
You stated in your response the other day that we had cleared comments from the SEC:
WINR is also working on its relisting to the OTC:BB. The comments WINR received from the SEC regarding the 10Qs had to be cleared and its financials up to date prior to filing. This has been accomplished and when the NASD notifies WINR on the relisting status we will also make an
immediate announcement.
Has a market maker been set up to file a 211? I think this situation deserves the highest priority, as re-listing is paramount, as quickly as possible.
Most of your core long term investors are still here, we are waiting for some positive moves to regain the market share we have lost over the last year.
Please try to keep us better informed, as that is very important. What does a pr cost on Business Wire, $500.00? A state of the company announcement
about where we are at this time and what you see in our immediate future would quell many fears.
Thanks for your time, and have a great day.
Hoping you and all of yours are blessed,
Joe D. Mitchell>>
