Confessions of a web-master, the birth of StockSkill.net Improving with age... Like a fine wine. http://www.stockskill.net -NorthPoint's secretary busy at work- -------------- EVEN - I have no wish to converse with you. I will however state for those that do not know: * I own 67,500 shares of NorthPoint, cost average .48 cents. * I bought prior to the bankruptcy. * I was mad as hell at the BK filing that killed the equity value that financially HURT me bigtime. * I averaged down after the trading halt was lifted, and believed the auction to find a financer would be fruitful. - wrong * When AT&T bought the hardware for ONE penny on the dollar and left all the 100,000+ paying consumers hung out to dry I was madder than Hell. * NPNTQ price fell to 2 cents and I lurked on this board, Now even madder as TECHSTAR said his Christian pumping site WAS mysteriously missing and it was beyond his power to retrieve it. * I had found solstice in reading the list of shareholders who had declared their shares on his site. I was the 6th to declare my 9,600 shares there. * I kept realizing all the fine DD on the board was being lost in the hay stack. * WOZ posted (#24174) a new shareholder list on November 19, 2001, I made a web-page of it. Thought up a web-site name and "put-up" the shareholder list for all to see. * Anne_elk later made a post with links to many news-stories regarding NorthPoint's plight. I made that the first "front page" of STOCKSkill.net * A shareholder in San Fran went to the courthouse and obtained a copy on the "Complaint". He then had a copy place FAX it to WOZ. I asked him to e-mail it to me. * I spent countless days scanning and converting it to text. This process was only 85% effective, the other 15% required painstaking proofreading and hand repair. * I wasn't satisfied with a plain document, I wanted individual pages and outline formatting - an HTML challenge to say the least - especially to get similar results with Netscape and Explorer. * I completed the amended-complaint an 9/4/01 * Wewillsurelywin e-mailed me asking for help on the declarations because he was in the military and the terrorists needed taking care of. * No one pays me a nickel. * I've spent thousands of "free" hours developing and maintaining to the site. * I wanted a professional - non-Verizon bashing web-site that would become THE repository for all pertinent information regarding what I feel was Verizon's illegal termination of a binding contract, * I am working my investment. * I am Verizon's worst Nightmare - a disgruntled NorthPoint investor. * I didn't not create this site to pump this stock to newcomers but rather to support all the existing shareholders (ex-employee's included) who were financially hurt by Verizon's actions - especially myself! * It is our legal right to average down so as to reach the profitable "break-EVEN" point sooner. WITHOUT this Boards members stockSkill.net would only be a shadow of how it stands today - I thank all who have contributed! - (May all of our efforts not be in vein.) I would like to expressly thank... My fellow shareholders: who have stuck together through all this painful time and who have worked together for the good of ALL. LIZ Fretter: for her timely filing of this action against Verizon for their wrong-doing and for her hiring of FLK. FLK: who has proven to be masterful in preparing NorthPoint's complaint and their litigation of the case thus far. Judge Carlson: for appointing Lynn Schoenmann as NorthPoint's U.S. Trustee and the foresight to hold an auction to fund NorthPoint court battle against the behemoth Verizon. NorthPoint's Trustee Lynn Schoenmann: for taking CHARGE of this matter and working tirelessly for NorthPoint's Estate, for being a ROCK for all to lean on! And to Terry McGovern: for seeing to it that we shareholders have a forum to trade our equity (and hence the ability to average down) after NorthPoint was forced to convert from chapter 11 to chapter 7. We Will persevere. We Shall Overcome Frankx (Voluntary Disclosure: Position- Long) View Replies source visitor Home
