Bill of goods indeed lol.

Similarly from:

http://www.topix.net/topix/team

"Rich joined Netscape/AOL upon its *purchase* of NewHoo/The Open
Directory Project"

"Bryn was a co-founder of NewHoo/The Open Directory Project and also
joined Netscape/AOL upon its *acquisition*." (is that really how his
name is spelled lol)

Snippet on Chris Tolles:

"Before Spoke, Chris was Director of Marketing .... and the Open
Directory Project. "

Not to change the subject but the time seems right for a new
directory. A truly non profit organization comes to mind - one that
is not selling a bill of goods.

newgool.com is available! as is org and net
