As I mentioned at the start of all this, that would have happened on
May 1, if there had been a way to reach e-gold users.
I doubt

will happen while the sole business model is:
"your new e-gold related venture can ... reach
everyone on the e-gold mailing list!!!"
Just state, tell me, type it!, how I can convince some company to
spend $3-$4 million on an e-gold related enterprise, when there is no
way at all to simply ANNOUNCE to e-gold users, that xyzgold.com
exists?
Consider this:
Say I told you I was bonkers, and I wanted to *give $1000 to every
active egold user*
Please state, tell me, type!, how I would reach, even, 10% of all
active e-gold users, to give them their grand. What's the method of
ANNOUNCEMENT for that?
The method of announcement is: ____________________________
Again, in your 1-7 model, 3 has been well and truly reached (to the
point of boredom).
The people who want to do (4)s observe, know, are cognizant of,
agree, trust, believe, accept, are sure of, have been reassured that,
all know, that (3) has been reached.
So - why are there no (4)s ?
(The hilarious thing about all this -- as we are speaking, it COULD
BE that british airways takes e-gold, and buy.com takes e-gold, and
datek have started a whole ecn system for equities denominated in
e-gold, etc etc --- AND WE DON'T KNOW. How would you know? State
it, tell me. The answer is, you'd would know if someone posted it on
this list, and you were one of the small percentage of active egold
users who reads this list.)
e-gold. mom & pop. stage 3 forever, or a very long time.
