Tex.............what is it with you you cannot let go?
Now you are saying you received an email from someone saying i was going to expose your public record?
"I was sent an email this morning, saying you were threatening to expose my public record"
Tex........you have some serious issues going on.
God knows what they are.......but it appears something is seriously wrong in Tex land.
Trouble is Tex...YOU and you alone brought them to the forum.
Yes YOU tex.
And do you really want to go down the personal path?
You have called me all manner of things.......used all manner of insults plus tring to make it even more persoanl by calling me and using real names.
Not once have i used your real name.
But if thats what you want Tex....let the fun begin!
Its a fight you will lose Tex.
And i thought you said i was on ignore...........when?
Until you are ready to launch another attack?
LOL
Tex...resolve your personal issues elsewhere.
Its taken you all this time to send me an email WHEN you could have done that from the get go.
That shows what your intent is and was............
But like i said Tex.........you have a major issue.
Your posts are starting to become more and more unstable.
But i asked you to say sorry.......you did so yet you still want to carry on.
Even concocting some imaginary story about some imaginary email.
But if thats where you are going.............i feel sorry for you.
Thanks Tex....i knew you could say sorry.
But apology NOT accepted.
Nasty....me?
Nah not nasty just prepared to do what one has to do.
Freinds lost?
So you would call a jerk who calls you a lying prick a friend?
Nice mates you must have but thankfully Tex was never a friend.
Creditbility lost..........Doh.......coming from a guy who uses a similar knickname....LOL
Morals lost.......what for facing up to a lowlife big mouth?
Mind Lost........well maybe....but seeing how the markets are not open......a little fun is OK.
Money lost......well not sure about that either...........but i think i did drop a ten cent piece today.
So it was nice of you to be concerned but it is really in hand.
Tex is going to give me his address.
We are going to start calling each other by first names...at Tex's insistance.
And in return i am going to send Tex some counselling money.........after all he has told us all he is having troubles.
Oh Tex........like i said ..give me your address....i would love to visit you.
Now you want me to ring someone to get your address.
LOL
But you said youhad me on ignore yesterday Tex.........and what happened today?
Lose something?
Or are you in the process of losing something?
Oops.......now Tex...........be careful what you say.
You =know these are public forums.
But hell.........we know you have your problems.
And i thought i was on ignore.
LOL
Do you know how silly you sound Tex.........or should we all start using first names?
Ot for that matter wives names?
XW......mate you have always been a great character.
BUT...there is always a but.
XW....i never started this rubbish........and i can assure you of one thing.
I will still be here long after Tex and others.
Best to stay out of it XW........i would hate to see you involved in this nonsense.
But ask yourself this?
Where are the cowards who attacked me after i psted what they actually said?
NO ........LS,TG or Michael forthcoming.
Although to be fair TG has not indulged in the infantile rubbish.
He obviously was hurt badly by the LOOK debacle but i think he has taken a very tough situation very well.
Shame the others would not own up to their own failings.
TG is tobe commended....move on and get on with things.
Not so Tex.............
Or for that matter LS or Michael.
Love to catch up......enjoyed a little of your home town but spent most time in Kunshan.
But got to the Bund and a few other places in the short time i was in Shanghai....amazing place with the Pudong District.....truly amazing.
Take Care
Gees Tex.......and i was on ignore but you follow me everywhere.
Nice posts Tex..........love the i am going to punch your head in ones.
Or the ring LC and he will give you my address so i can punch your head in.
Or the classic.........i will fly to Sydney to punch your head in.
LOL
I think the ring LC one is your best.
Blackmail?
Tex..........you really have a warped mind.
You should choose your words more carefully.
And Tex.........you opened up the can of worms.
I will let you off if you say you are sorry.
OK?
Is that the best you can do....really?
Do you have any original thoughts?
LOL
Shame is i want to talk about LOOK and you want to talk about me.....and you reckon i need help.
Are you gay?
LOL
ReallY?
I was waiting for your reply to my post last night.
Struggling with that?
As to medical help........anyone who chooses to use a likeness of a name has enough of their own problems..
Couldn't you think of something original?
Like
Cat?
Wonderful ocntribution.........what leaving so early?
Oh well......bye!
What all silent and all done?
LS,TG and Michael.....NO comments?
Full of comments yesterday.
And what silent today?
I am all ears..........let me know what you think of your "own" comments.
After all it is exactly what you all said.
Now lets look at some facts here.
On the 25th of September TG finally asks why my strong buy was removed from LOOK............this i might add was weeks after it was removed.
Then Micahel Irish confirms that my strong buy was indeed missing for weeks.
Then i responded to TG and stated quite strongly it was done so "intentionally"
Then LS asks what is going on?
Then i also stated my position to LS and highlighted to LS my strong buy was missing for weeks too.
Then Michael Irish in response to of all people Charge stated this.........."I noticed the lack of 'strong buy' for awhile now...so what"
Then Rickee goes on to state he got out in part because i stopped cheering for LOOK and then Michale said this........."I will be the last person critical of Smuggler. I have learned tyoo much from him .
Always respect choices"
Then finally TG stated......."Smug looks to me like your out ATM"
Where i replied ..........."But you should never shoot the messenger"
Now we have in some order a sequence of events ALL before LOOK lost MSN.
Micahel knew i was out and said so what?
TG knew i was out and said who cares?
LS knew i was out and asked what had changed?
Even dear old Charge told you all i was out.
I had been warning everyone on here and on Yahoo about the impending mess........
And finally Michael............yeah what you said was true wasn't it?
I will be the last person to be critical of Smuggler.
You were not the last but you were the most disappointing.
Everyone here saw the signs.....heard the words and as you now know plenty had an email.
It is you guys who chose NOT to listen.
I tried in an sincere way to please everyone and that included those who asked me NOT to publicly advise i sold.
My conscience is quite clear.
Maybe you who are throwing stones should have a very close look at yourselves.
The facts are there for all to see.........there is only one person to blame if you did not see them.......and that is yourself.
So Michael......always respect choices?
Or is that you only write what you hope to mean?
It all seems pretty hollow now.......and remember you DID cast the first stone!
Maybe we should chronicle some posts
Lets start from here.
Post # 9258 from Top Gun to me on the 25th of Septemeber
Hey Smug I note your not adding a Strong Buy sentiment on Y! Have you changed teams, or is LOK no longer a Strong Buy?
Post # 9261 from Michael Irish to TG
I noticed that sometime ago....
Post # 9265 My reply to TG and notice the exact wording!!!!!!!!
As to my strong buy......well that has not been there for weeks and it was intentionally removed.
In fact you are the first to even notice that.
Post # 9278..response to Option
Post # 9280 posted by LS to me!!!!!
Oh my god! Am I on the right board? What happened? Weren't you posting strong buy through all those events? ;o)
Post # 9282 in response to LS
LS.........i do not know what is hard to follow.
I had argued these views not so much in one post but in a series of posts and my views have remained consistent.
And my buy position has remained consistent too.
So much so that i have been posting "without" a buy bias for some time and NO one noticed.
Seems to me plenty have been looking but not reading.
Do you feel Jason should go?
Post # 9295 by Michael in response to Charge of all people.
Smuggler has posted endlessly for years. Matybe he has run out of steam.
I noticed the lack of 'strong buy' for awhile now...so what.
We are a day closer to the announcement
My gutfelling is that when the MSN-LOK announcement is made there will be a run up inm the share price..even if the terms are more honerous
Post # 9301 By Rickee
I have always said to myself if Smuggler stops plugging Lok I’d get out.
Today I sold the lot!
Post # 9302 by TG to Rickee
Rickeee, god on you for making some money along the way on LOK! I can see why you would sell, if LOOK's #1 fan turns on them.
Post # 9297 by Michael to Charge
I will be the last person critical of Smuggler. I have learned tyoo much from him .
Always respect choices
Post # 9285 by TG to LS
Smug looks to me like your out ATM and starting to play the itsvanm game, you are not being consistent with your previous posts (see the last post here) and that's OK it's your choice.
If anyone can talk the price down, its you so I hope you got a few!
Post # 9293 by Me to LS and TG
TG and LS...........
You are entitled to your views.
But you should never shoot the messenger.
I have tried in a subtle way to articulate my personal view.
Maybe you guys should be asking LOOK some questions and NOT me.
Mick.........as always you should do some reading too.
Andy must have woken up in a bad mood.........when he said this this morning!
smugs ... stop wasting space and b-off, you're living a credibility vacuum that grows every time you dredge up the (currupted) past 99% of people want to forget. You're a black hole sucking more goodwill into it everytime you piss someone else off. IMO, either get with the new attitude of the board or exit.
So i suppose mine was a little more polite when i asked him to actually read the SEC filing.
Now who was the more polite Mick?
Next time i will tell him to simply f.. off!
Is that better?
Mick....you have enough problems.
Don't start any more.
TG...thanks for the invitation.
Andy...maybe you should read that SEC filing again.
He was given the options.....he DID NOT buy them.
Gees.........and to think you wait all day to write that.
I thought no one cared Andy?
This message was posted by Lex on Grub
Hi Broux and Zorro,
We're alive and well - thanks for bringing up the news request. We're happy to let you know how it's going on the project that Stechert mentioned in his last update (the one that Zorro pointed to.)
It's a substantial project because the Grub team is doing a lot of rebuilding. For instance, the Grub client itself will essentially be completely rebuilt to make some fundamental improvements like better authentication and improving the way that work units are managed. Because of this rebuilding, it's a labor-intensive project, but the Grub developers have made a huge amount of progress against their goals. We're very anxious to release the new and improved Grub client - please watch out for more news in the next couple of weeks.
We're also continuing to make progress on the full integration with Wisenut, which will be completed in 2004. Please let us know if you have other questions.
Now this only goes to magnify either......
1. Kellermans own misunderstanding of the amount of work needed to bring Grub up to speed.
2. It shows Kellerman was either lying or misleading investors about Grub/Wisenut
3. Kellerman was and is unable to articulate the LOOK vision with Grub and Wisenut
For a company who has lost 65% of its revenues to have Grub integrated into Wisenut in 2004 is simply a joke.
Dare we ask what has been happening since January?
And why did they get rid of Kord?
Hi.........Kappgun is back in trackwork and the other is still in the paddocks.
I will keep an eye on Radiant Society....hope it goes well for you but as you know it does not matter what you pay for them does it.....if you get a good one you get a good one.
Like Mummify on the weekend...a mate of mine is one of the owners........
Selective?
Hell find one i left out?
The ball is in your court!
LOOK is not a spent force yet........it is desperately close BUT..there is always a but.
One can only hope Kelllerman DOES indeed have a plan.
Hence MY having a constant go at him and i do notice no one is suggesting he has a plan B.
I am sitting on the sidelines with LOOK in the fervent hope they do indeed have a plan b......but as i expressed until Kellerman announces such a deal and details in total what it means in monetary terms i will remain on the sidelines.
And failing any plan b........i agree LOOK is indeed doomed.
I hope that Kellerman cannot be that stupid not to have some plan for LOOK without MSN......but history has shown he is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Now lets look at some facts here.
On the 25th of September TG finally asks why my strong buy was removed from LOOK............this i might add was weeks after it was removed.
Then Micahel Irish confirms that my strong buy was indeed missing for weeks.

TG and LS...........
You are entitled to your views.
But you should never shoot the messenger.
I have tried in a subtle way to articulate my personal view.
Maybe you guys should be asking LOOK some questions and NOT me.
LS...it appears your memory is NOT that good.
I reprimenaded Charge for being out of LOOK when he simply was saying things about LOOK which were completely untrue......like he was suggesting LOOK had NOT signed Inktomi.
Plus a few other issues.
I am not bagging LOOK.........in fact maybe you could quote my post where you suggest i have?
I am bagging Kellerman........there is a difference.
Now if you call talking facts like LOOK's business is now all but dead in the water......well if you believe otherwise.let me know.
As to me having a go at Tex.....maybe you should enlighten yourself and ask Tex why did he start the rubbish?
As to my attacks on Micahel and Simon.......again maybe you should check your facts and see who wrote to me..i simply responded.
Now as to you.......I was one of the very few who told you to exit LOOK.... BECAUSE of your telling the board of your need to buy a home.
I told you to exit LOOK because a home was more important.
But it seems LS your memory has now become selective.
The rest of your post is an insult to your intelligence or at least how intelligent i thought you were.
Maybe just maybe...you should check your facts.
When did you realise LOOK was in an abyss?
Did this just hit you?
How awful.....bagging LOK when your mates are still in it.
Shame you did not listen to me about AFT yesterday....would have made 5 times as much as you did.
That is of course if you are telling the truth?
OK...all done?
Right.....good Luck with LOOK those who are in it still......i hope they can move forward and for those sitting on losses i hope you can recover.
It is a difficult time for LOOK and holders.
Glad you reponded Michael.
SO you acknowledge you NEVER once asked me.
So..........now you are telling me your failures are my responsibilities.
You are a disgrace!
Is that straight enough?
I already explained certain persons had asked me NOT to make my positon known...yet i did post "subtle" changes and removed my strong buy from LOOK.
I went on to inform the board about the "town hall" meeting.
I went on to attack Kellerman.
I wonder which part of that you needed clarifying?
You stand proud.....of what?
For losing money?
For villifying me?
Yep........Michael..........you are a very sad individual.
End of conversation.
Tex...........obviously taking dopey pills tonight?
I reponded to you to read what i said.
I said i emailed people who asked me to email them when and if i ever got out.
I simply did as they asked..........
Now which part of that Tex is hard to understand?
And Tex..........do you think i am interested in what people think of me?
You are seriously deluded if you think i repspect the opinion of some one who is posting like you are to me?
You are simply embarrassing yourself.
And i do not find that a value in a person at all.
Simon....still waiting for your response at to why you asked for my email and when you had it did NOT email me?
Lets get your mind around that.
If i called your remarks childish.........they probabbly were.
Like yours tonight.
Childish!
Oh and i did not always call you childish.......only when your reamrks were.
If you suggest you are childish all the time.........thats your call.
LC.........that is the issue right now.
Where is the future for LOOK........
It is funny how my "strong sell" is attracting attention....yet the absence of my "strong buy" brought NO attention.
But as to LOOK being a strong sell...............i am sorry you are still in.
I for one cannot see LOOK staying even at its current levels right now on what the future holds for LOOK.
LOOK was a great story but we ALL knew the MSN issue was LOOK's archilles heel.
And was even more so with LOOK unable to sign any substantive partners.
Payne to some degree placated our fears but it was NOT consistent with what was actually happening........
And as such some found the Payne comments to be almost the clincher..........and sadly as we have found out they were simply words with NO basis.
LOOK had a great future.........which we all agreed upon.
MSN simply stole the future away.
It may rise again........but until i see some definitive contract of substance and fully explained in monetary terms LOOK is in my view a strong sell.
Michael..........i owuld strongly suggest you of all people check facts before you villify me.
You say my posts were puzzling...........well here is a question?
Did you ever ask me why?
I mean if you thought my posts were puzzling then......how come you did NOT ever ask me what was my reasoning or my concern................yet you now try and condemn me in the face of others.
Michael.......as i said of all people...........you should be totally ashamed of yourself.
And its a sad thing to say but you also have totally emabrrassed yourself.
I posted from China when i read the news my heartfelt pain for those who were in LOOK and were going to lose money.
I posted to TG also i was sorry for his losses.
I was NOT even in the country yet took the time to express my concerns for anyone who was in LOOK.
Now you have the audacity to try and villify me..........for what?
Your stupidity?
Your ineptness?
Your blindness?
Yes............it was YOUR investment decision.
LC has publicly advised the boards i advised him i sold.........i emailed him and spoke to him on the phone about it for some time and he explained his views and i explained mine.
In the end.......he continued to hold.
He is the only MAN on this board.
The rest of you are simply kidding yourself.
I did NOT lose the MSN contract for LOOK.
Kellerman LOST it.............
I have NOT seen one comment from anyone on here villifying the very person you should be...........and that is Kellerman!
I was giving it to Kellerman for weeks BEFORE LOOK lost MSN.
Did you or any others join in the debate or ask me why i was giving it to him?
NO.......now a single one of you!
Did you ask me once about the "town hall" meeting LOOK had with it staff before it lost MSN?
NO..NOT a single one of you.
Yet i posted all this BEFORE................yes BEFORE LOOK lost MSN.
Michael...its just very very sad..........and quite frankly i feel sorry for you and what you are now posting.
Thanks LC............it is unfortunate it has come to this...but sadly what was to remain private is no longer so.
Thank you for your honesty..........it is quite refreshing and you know i respect you and your choices.
Just on LOOK.........i simply told you i was concerned about certain issues...........and that i was exiting LOOK until there was certainty over the MSN issue.
You did express you believed Payne and his comments..........and to a certain extent i did also believe what Payne had said.
I also believed what certain other people had told me and on my investigations found some issues which were at very big odds to what LOOK were telling the market.
Thanks again LC...............
Tex........not sure what is wrong with you and more to the point i don't really care.
But maybe you could explain your attacks on me?
I am simply replying to your nonsense...........i already explained in quite some detail why and who i emailed.
I also explained why i did NOT email you.
Its either you are not reading my replies or you are choosing to be a goose.
As to me posting a strong sell..........and that LC is still in LOOK.
Well.............that is news to me.
LC has NOT emailed me..........telephoned me or advised me he was still in LOOK.
He did however ask me NOT to advise the boards i had sold and i did agree to do that for him.
But LC is surely a bigger man then what you are carrying on with.
He has posted tonight that his investment decision was exactly that....HIS.
And i posted earlier tonight everyone is responsible for their own investment calls.
As you are with yours.........as to the rest of your silly post.....it has belittled you and the respect i once had for you.
Shame on you Tex.
And remember Tex............YOU and only YOU began this nonsense.
LOOK is a different company now after losing MSN.
Funniest thing is..............you do not even want to talk about LOOK..........its all about me......which really is quite embarrasing.
If you are so concerned about others one would think your posts would be about LOOK and trying to identify for them if there is any window of opportunity for them to exit LOOK.
Try and work on LOOK Tex............working on me has about the same affect of trying to revive LOOK.....absolutely no affect!
Tex..........I never informed TG or MI.
I never gave anyone advice to "hold" onto LOOK at all...not sure where you get this idea or impression.
Whether some held ........was and is a decision for them...NOT me.
People like LC and in fact most others were quite animated i had chosen to exit LOOK and were the very ones who asked i NOT make my decision public.
I respected their decisions to hold as i am sure they and you should respect mine to sell.
I simply emailed those who had asked me to let them know if and when i ever sold.........and i did.
Again i refer you to my posts challenging Kellerman and removing MY strong buy from my posts.......long before LOOK lost MSN.
I do also refer you to the posts about the "town hall" meeting which were completely ignored by readers and posters.
So if holders decide to hold,buy or sell it is their decision in the end.
The advice i gave to all i emailed was my own frank assessment of the facts.......and sadly it was correct.
I am not claiming any benefit of hindsight....LC will attest to that for you......i only put forward to them my own concerns about LOOK.
Again sadly they were found to be true.
As to supporters?
I did not think this was some sort of popularity contest........i post what i believe to be the facts or situation as i see it.
In fact it seems many on here think i would handsomely lose any popularity contest.
But Tex..like you and like me............your views and my views are opinions based on individual situations.
Like TG.....when he was in LOOK he was LOOK's biggest supporter yet when out of LOOK it represented all the risks as any stock would.
TG made his own decisions........as i am sure MI did.
As did all i emailed.
Of all i emailed i only know of one person who actually sold at the same time......so it seems true others simply chose to pursue their own course.
And quite frankjly i would not expect any less from an investor.
It is their money and their responsibility........a point i am sure you will heartily agree upon.
Did you tell LC to sell out of LOOK at anytime before they lost MSN?
Or did you tell TG or MI?
Tex.......
Lets get some facts staright here.
The people i emailed of my concerns and decision asked me NOT to reveal my decision to sell publicly.
You see Tex.it was the very people who i emailed that asked ME not to reveal my position.
BUT.......if anyone had of read my posts bagging Kellerman and IF anyone had of noticed i removed MY strong buy on LOOK......i am sure they would have gathered something ahd changed.
In fact many of those challenged me for bagging Kellerman........which i am sure you are aware of.
As to why i never emailed you.......well as you correctly pointed out YOU did not and do not own LOOK shares.....
But like many Tex..........the issue about LOOK remains firmly with LOOK.
I tried to make my case against Kellerman........the board was even told about the "town hall" meeting LOOK had with its staff BEFORE losing MSN where LOOK warned its stafff about losing MSN.......only a week or so before losing them.
You cannot blame me for those who do not read the facts...........it was all there BEFORE LOOK lost MSN.
All anyone had to do was LOOK..........
Do you ever remember me writing that?
So Tex......i did not tell people AFTER the event........i told everyone BEFORE the event.
Just some knew on a personal level........and those people asked me NOT to make it known pubclicly i sold........i conceded to their wish yet still posted concerns about LOOK so that others could be alerted.
Markco...........an observation i agree with.
It would not suprise me to see Kellerman announce his intention to resign in the CC.
LOOK is now simply being led by someone who is so out of his depth it is not funny.
LOOK should have already articulated to the market what its intentions are in regards to its future but even "cheap talk" about LOOK's future has left the building.
It is a very sad situation and god forbid if LOOK do not meet guidance in the call........i personally do not expect it but the impact of the MSN testing on the UK site is such an unknown it is hard to know if the Lycos deal would have either taken the slack up or actually added to the numbers.
It is a greater shame Kellerman has NOT given any update on the Lycos deal......lets face it some good news would be graciuously welcomed.
But goes to amplify my concern over the guy......clearly unable to know what the problems are and as such is clearly unable to tackle the problems.
Shame......and the greater pity is..he is completely bereft of any initiative!
Manassa.......you don't have to be a Rhodes scholar to know LOOK is in a desperate situation.
Whether it capitulates tonight or in the future is immaterial.
LOOK is NOT a viable business in its current form.
LOOK will need to secure deals of substance just to get some way back to where they were........and would only be worth considering as a maybe if and when any such deals were announced.
But from my perspective Kellerman would need to go........and any deals would need to be explained in finite detail.
Notice there is still NO update on the Lycos deal?
Why hasn't LOOK given the market something to digest?
All they have to say is the deal is tracking....as planned
ahead of planned budget or exceeding wildest expectations.
But NO.......LOOK says it loses MSN because it returned poor relevance results on MSN
So Lycos take inferior results?
The air needs to be cleared and Kellerman is obviously way out of his depth in dealing with what is now effectively a crisis of confidence.
XW in Dalian still today.........fly into Shanghai tonight and off to Kunshan tomorrow for meetings but back to Shanghai on Wednesday........
Dalian is an amazing town too.......never seen so many ships in a harbour as here.........
Yes and we should meet again.
Nickel appears to be flavor of the month..........
LOL
Anyone who uses a knickname similar to someone elses has his own special problems.

Andy.......well my tone and manner was cautious with LOOK and with anyone who wanted to invest in LOOK/LOK
I always exposed LOOK's greatest risk and i also exposed LOOK's benefits.
But then of course you are another dope talking about the wrong guy.
You see i am NOT responsible for LOOK's failures.
Or for that matter investors losses........so much so i had personally advised all those i emailed privately to sell LONG before LOOK lost MSN.
And i also alerted others here and elsewhere of Kellermans failures.
Funny how i did not see you add any advice to readers or investors about getting OUT of LOOK before they lost MSN.
Yes.odd that.
Tone Andy?
LOL
