Hi Clogger,such kind words! Thanks!

On bios like the game rumor they almost always diverge some. So as you asked will update some of those items. BTW Clogger is a great friend and has one of the best businesses have every seen and he is the founder of that biz.

Have to say the stuff that was not accurate was the most interesting!

The eCommerce company founded was Sequoia Data and the product was CompuMarket and it was like eBay, just too early. And yes a Sand Hill venture capitalist did say "no one would ever buy anything over a modem"!! About tore my hair out when he said it. Today maybe 98% of Americans do. ScanFix stuff fairly accurate, for scanners for OCR improvement

On NewsMax it was a $75 million offer (very close on that Clogger) in 2000 and I wanted to take it (silly high valuation, we had less sales then, than Brownies has now). It sold for $23 million about 2005 after the dotcom bust and has now over $100 million in sales.

On Clintons I am not on their good side, as was involved in news investigations of them, but did know someone in their 92 campaign.

Do have some friends in hedge fund industry and when they are in town we do have dinner, but one was considering moving for tax reasons not me. Do like discussing investments. And one did buy a lot of BWMG stock.

A few other things were overly generous. But that is a lot better than the reverse.

Clogger has brought in many people to BWMG and we have had good winners in the past together.

Thank you again Clogger for your overly generous remarks.
