All this BS talk of "teamwork" and people crying and whining and having breakdowns. It's stock in a company. It's nothing but business. There are numbers... There's analysis... Emotional need is what will drive subscribers to the channel, it serves no purpose to investors. PPS will not go up because every here is happy and holding hands singing Kumbaya...All you need to do is buy your shares, set your strategy, and stick with it. Whether or not you're happy or the people here are being negative should have no effect on your strategy. If it does, you should probably stick with quilt making.

Unless you joined an investor's group with a shared pool of money, investing in stocks is not a team sport. Forums like this are a good source of information for things you may have missed or for getting answers to questions you might have. However, since I've been following the QBID thread here since late February, I've had to shovel through loads of cheerleading and starry eyed wishful thinking in order to dig up any useful information. Anytime someone brings up a concern or asks a tough question, everyone pounces on them and accuses them of being a basher and claims that their negativity will kill the stock.

Ok I'm just rambling.. but jeez. Some people here need to get a grip....

I am not by any stretch of the imagination a "drama queen" nor a "whiner". I would leave that to you. Get off this board, not on your life, I am entitled to my opnion just as you are entitled to yours. Getting personal is what RB is about. Here I have stated facts only, not suppostion, not anything but facts, and I have given a quick example of how fast it can get out of hand.

I do not call anyone and rant or rave. There is no point to that. It would accomplish nothing. I do not rant or rave on this forum either. I will post facts, which are of concern to me and should be of concern to all.

Now...pay close attention...I appreciate all that Diana has done with regard to help new people, answer questions with regard to investing in stocks, defininations of stock terms, and so forth. I applaude her efforts at trying to promote awareness of Qtelevision to the media and cable companies.

My concern is for the viability of Q Television and its Credibility. Hard as it is for you to understand..here is the hard truth.....Frank Olsen owns and runs Q television...if you doubt that call and ask him yourself...better yet look it up. He will run it his way...not my way, not your way, not diana's way,....only his way. If you offer to help he will put stipulations on it even if you offer to do it for free. Why? Because he knows that it can and will impact HIS company. Diana does not own Q television (therefore she cannot speak for Q television), she does not have any proxies from any of you (which is required by the way), in short she has no power or authority to represent Q Television in any way shape or form nor the shareholders.

I posted before about the proxies. Please take the time to be correct about what you say instead of just jumping in before you take time to digest what I have said.

I have been in this industry for 25 years and know quite a bit about it. Been there, Done that, and until you have been there, please don't presume to even think you know what is going on in that industry.

Now addressing the "smut and smear campain" you refer to....I do not do "smut or smear" the facts speak for themselves. My concern is for the information that was diseminated being misinterpeted by someone that is not actually reading all posts or possibly a disgruntled investor. As far as "idiot and the like" is concerned, That just shows your level of education and emotional developement. This is business...do not confuse it with friendship, comradeship, ect. Business is about the bottom line...A lession that I learned early on is that Business and Friendship do not mix, and a wise Business person does not allow them to. Too many good friends are lost that way.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen...it is that simple. Not complicated at all. As for me leaving, Not unless Bob or the moderator ban me, I will stay now if for nothing else to present facts and information that concerns Qbid regardless of who gets offended. I appreciate that there is a clique here that belongs to Diana and I have no problem with that. I have noticed that if a problem is brought or a question with a negative slant is raised, the person who is doing this is instantly a basher, or they are tearing someone or Qbid down. Quite interesting. An earlier post was made about a witch hunt...It would seem that since I am raising the questions and presenting facts to support what I say, that the hunters are most of the rest of you.

I support what I say with facts....can you do the same without all the emotional garbage to go with it. I don't think so... Please prove me wrong...if you can't, please don't bother to respond to this. JUST THE FACTS

I don't think you can handle it.

This should explain itself and here is a copy of it:

THE Q WAS CLOSED FRI AND MON (SUSAN) DID NOT MAKE MY ARRANGEMENTS AND I DID SO MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING A TRIP TO SACRAMENTO TO SEE MY FRIEND ANYWAY. I PAID FULLY FOR MY TICKET AND HOTEL. I DID NOT ASK FOR ANY REIBURSEMENT
FOR MY EXPENSES--NOR DID I RECIEVE ANY.

I DO NOT WORK FOR QTV--NOR DO I WANT TO. I OWN AND OPERATE MY OWN CHILD CARE FACILITY. Get a life folks--you have followed my advice on the Q for almost 5 months and now you want to question my intentions. PLEASE--GET A GRIP! I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR THE INCLINATION TO PUT UP WITH THIS B.S.

Have you all lost your minds? I am one of you. A stock holder who has posted on this board since this stock was .0001, since Feb. 2, 2004. I am not paid by or associated in any other way the Q -- I am a fully vested stock holder, just like yourselves. Trying to make a buck. We are all on the same Q side. I believe firmly that we can and have made a tremendous amount of money on the Q. Furthermore, I believe there is much more to be made.

Hold onto you hats and your stocks. The ride has just begun.

I HOPE THIS POST HAS CLEARED UP ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE RE: MY INTENTION'S AND BELIEF'S IN THE SUCCESS OF THE Q. IF IT HAS NOT--DEAL WITH IT. SELL THE STOCK AND GET OUT-IN THE MEAN TIME LEAVE ME OUT OF YOUR B.S.

I BELIEVE I HAVE MADE MYSELF CLEAR ON THIS SUBJECT. I DO NOT PLAN TO HAVE TO ADDRESS IT AGAIN.

NOW LET'S MAKE SOME MONEY. THE Q NEED'S AND DESERVES TO BE AT THE . 05 LEVELS BEFORE THE LAUNCH DATE OF JULY 1, 2004.

GET OUT THERE AND SEARCH FOR DUE DILIGENCE. FIND ARTICLES AND OPINIONS. SEARCH THE GAY/LESBIAN AND STRAIGHT WEB FOR RELATED SUBJECTS. POST ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY BE HELPFUL IN THE PROMOTION OF THE Q AND GET THE PPS UP SO WE CAN SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. LET'S GET THE NEW'S OUT THERE. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.

ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY RISK OR TRIVIAL PURSUIT?

REALITY + POTENTIAL = PRICELESS

DIANA DICKSON

Please explain where it went to us all. There are more if required but we can start with this. An appology to the board would be the smarter move but if you want to do it the hard way, not a problem. Your message shows "[This message has been edited by realityinc21 (edited June 03, 2004).]" The rest of the message has been cleared.

Frank is sending me a ticket to come to him. Next week.

Please continue to e-mail. I finally understand this..Time warner contract is 10 years. The contracts that they are working on are independent contracts and subsidary contractors of Time Warner. They have to be contracted independently. They carry the adversising industry in their back poctket.

The short cut to success. The soft launch it on and the full launch is July 1 and there will be no delays. It is a done deal.

Again keep e-mailing. Frank (Susan) is arranging my ticket now. You all know me better than to know that is is nothing but the facts.

More later.

This was a quote from Pharmdman's post referencing a conversation with Frank. Again we come to the FACT that this info is not contained within any press release..Please find one if you can. Until then know the subject you are speaking on.

I was not stoning, nor bashing. I was raising a revelant point about the release of information. All pr should come from Frank or Devinny, end of discussion. Now Diana had just come from Franks office to her hotel room and put that info on this board yesterday. That can be considered inside info easily. This can create serious headaches for ALL of us. This is the Caution I spoke of. Diana is a nice lady, probably gets carried away sometimes, and this is fine, however this is business and serious business, not a joyride, not a carnival for entertainment, BUSINESS, and should be dealt with from that point of view.

With that said, I believe you owe me an apology for the accusation. If you Accuse, be very sure of your facts. If you can refute what is here with facts do so, otherwise SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND COLOR!!!

You suck for the negativity you created. You owe all an apology especially diana. Bit were your intentions bashing or someone so naive to misinterpret and then creat havoc?

Diana ..I have spoken to her months ago, prior to qbid prior to qbid being .013 + and she is a real person and a human being.

Has a great heart . But this also is a lesson, how envy and mean spirited folks can try to create havoc and destruction.

Diana take a step back and know that you are only the target if you let yourself be. Blow it away and know the source.

So, next time YOU tell others how to poST, LOOK at what you have done thru your misinterpretation, etc.....

Please do not try and undermind the intellect of some on this board. I do believe in the "Smoke" I just blew. I don't appreciate some of the BS Posts on this. I do think that this has been taken too far.
I don't know for sure who lied and who didn't. It's just a fact that Diana has been accused, tried and HUNG by you and others without complete proof. If you are what this Country stands for.......I'm runnin' for the hills. If some are angry at Diana because they have been following her DD and not doing their own then, they are in the wrong business and better not quit their day jobs. This business is about using your own business sense following your own game plan and doing your own DD.
NOW......Diana has supplied some Great DD on this thread and others. I appreciate all of it. It has only added to my own.
You have demanded an appology when you feel you need one. Have you given thanks to Diana when she supplied all of the Great DD?
Door swings both ways "my friend".

The `soft launch" (Previously announced in a press release on May 15th) is online to begin broadcasting to carriage industry corporations and advertisers nationwide. The creation of a new 24-hour channel television network featuring a broad spectrum of programming directed at gay and lesbian audiences, will be offered to cable and satellite systems throughout the United States. The network will feature original plays, motion pictures, series and documentaries as well as sports, travel and lifestyle programming combined with live news broadcasts and specials.

Survey: Gay Consumers Among The Earliest Technology Adopters
By Newswire Report
Thursday, July 17, 2003
Gay men and women are among the first to adopt new devices and online tools, making them an important demographic for online marketers. That's according to Forrester Research, Inc., which for the first time recently asked respondents to its annual Consumer Technographics Benchmark Study of 60,000 households to indicate their sexual orientation. "Gays Are The Technology Early Adopters You Want" includes data on device adoption and online behavior by gay men and women, as well as recommendations on how to best market to this influential group.

"Gay men and women are tech-savvy consumers who use the Internet and tech devices at significantly higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts for shopping, banking, entertainment, and community building," said Jed Kolko, principal analyst at Forrester. "Marketers need to take a close look at the consumer behavior of gay men and women to determine a strategy in targeting a group of consumers who have been consistently overlooked."

In addition to being wealthier and better educated, gay men and women are avid Internet users. Eighty percent of gay men and 76 percent of lesbians are online, compared with 70 percent of straight men and 69 percent of straight women. Gays are also one-third more likely to have broadband connections and have been online longer than heterosexuals. Twenty-nine percent of gay men and women have been online for more than seven years, versus 18% of heterosexuals.

Although any group of higher-income, more highly educated consumers will be earlier adopters of technology, significant differences in gays' technology behavior emerged after adjusting statistically for online tenure and demographic differences. Gay men, for example, are more likely to own portable MP3 players and browser-enabled phones, and they are more than two times likelier to own a personal video recorder (PVR) device like TiVo. Gay men and women also turn to the Internet in higher numbers for entertainment and community-building activities. The Internet makes it easier for gays to meet online without the pressures of losing one's anonymity and provides a link to the gay community through tools like text chat, instant messaging, and personal Web pages.

In an effort to reach gay consumers, Forrester recommends that marketers target gay audiences directly by advertising in gay publications and at gay events. Additionally, because gay men and women differ from heterosexuals in many of the same ways when it comes to consumer behavior, marketers can treat the gay market as a single audience. It may be best, however, to avoid asking consumers about their sexual orientation for direct marketing purposes. Twenty percent of respondents did not answer Forrester's sexual orientation question - for the time being, inquiring about consumers' sexuality may not be worth the effort and potential of alienating consumers. http://www.mediapost.com/dtls_dsp_news....sID=212572

Marketing to Reach the Gay & Lesbian Community
What is the Gay Market?
Gays and lesbians are sometimes elusive to quantify, but major advertisers have increasingly found that their efforts are well worth the investment to find them and for good reason. A recent study conducted by the Connecticut-based Greenfield Online, found that the average annual household income for gays and lesbians is $57,000. The New York-based Company, Spare Parts, Inc., which helps companies market to gays, estimates that the United States gay and lesbian population is between 15 million to 23 million. According to another study (Inter@ctive Week, August 30, 1999. Pg. 20.), the US gay community consists of over 19 million people with an estimated buying power of $800 billion. Worldwide, these figures are much larger.
Below is a benchmark that helps to bring this market more into focus, allowing us to compare it to other diversity niche communities in the US marketplace.
Market Population Buying Power Buying Power
Per Capita
African American 30 Million $535 Billion $17.8K
Gay American 16.5 Million $450 Billion $27.3K
Hispanic American 31 Million $383 Billion $12.4K
Asian American 11 Million $229 Billion $21.0K

Reaching The Gay Market:
Reaching the gay market effectively means creating advertising and other marketing communications specifically directed toward their consumer mindset. In the early '90s, it was sufficient to run mainstream advertising in a gay publication to capture the attention of the market. Today, with more marketers vying for the gay consumer dollar, the bar has been raised. Gay consumers now expect advertisers to address them for who they are, directly and openly. In focus groups nationally, gay men and lesbians express a definite preference for advertising that specifically reflects their mindset and sensibilities.
Rarely can gay marketing efforts rely on traditional advertising alone. Extending your reach among this audience requires understanding the community infrastructure available to access them. The result is often a sophisticated mix of advertising, direct marketing, community presence and Internet promotions. http://www.gaymarketexpress.com/

===> 8 July 03: From an article at Gay.com ... The plan, first announced by Showtime/MTV in Nov 02, to launch an all-gay, 24-hour cable television channel by the Spring of 03 has been placed on hold indefinitely, allegedly due to the poor state of the economy. After launch, this appears to allow TTN to lay claim to the title "First 24/7 gay TV network in the U.S."
===> 7 July 03: (Revised): There is evidence now, via persons communicating with TW, of TTN trying to arrange a first wave of simultaneous separate PRs issued through multiple local TW marketing units from around the country. Since there would be logistical complexities in getting this to all play together, a few extra days of delay in getting the PRs out should not be unexpected. See also http://xxxxxxxx.lycos.com/mboard/boar...read=70048 .

===> 4 July 03: At a time when the summer heat is still heading in the upward direction, it seems intriguing that TMM is suddenly reversing itself by switching back to regular-season hours! It was only a short time ago that the company announced that it had scaled back to reduced hours for the summer (not unusual for P.S. businesses during the hot months). Yet, today's updated after hour phone recording states that TMM's "new" summertime hours will be 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM starting next Monday, 7 July.

===> 30 June 03: Amazing 737 million shares traded today! Intraday high upticked to $0.0003. Next best chance for first round of PR's seems to be immediately after the upcoming 4th of July weekend. Meanwhile, check out today's AOL TW's "Opportunity Investment Fund" announcement. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030630/305395_1.html .Could one of the upcoming PR's be similar to this but with Triangle's name in it?
===> 27 June 03: Now prominently posted on Triangle's web sites: ON QBID SITE: <><> "Qbid takes Pride in the announcement of TTN, inc., in which Qbid has a vested interest, concerning their relationship with Time Warner Cable. For further information please see TTN's website at http://www.triangletelevisionnetwork.com " ... and ON TTN SITE: <><> "TTN PROUDLY ANNOUNCES A 10 YEAR NATIONAL CONTRACT WITH TIME WARNER CABLE. Target Cities and Launch Dates are currently being reviewed and will be announced soon. Watch For Further Announcements." <><> In the meantime, just two days ago a U.S. Supreme Court decision was handed down that overthrew Texas' anti sodomy law that was being used to discriminate against gay couples. And just a few days before that, Canada legalized same xxx marriages. Certainly we are at a point in history where acceptance of gay rights is accelerating and is in the forefront of the news. Is the order and close timing of the above events a complete coincidence, or is there something more going on here? The scope and (arguably) almost urgent tone of TTN's post sure seems to be signaling the possiblity that TW has now abruptly entered a "get TTN on the air around the country without delay" mode.
23 June 03: PR on 24 or 25 JUNE? Two callers reaching separate people at the company, and reporting on another board, are told there might be a PR tomorrow or Wednesday. Huge volume uptick today to over 97 million shares; price jump at end of day to close at $0.0002!
===> 21 June 03: IMPORTANT POSITIVE BREAKTHROUGH HAS APPARENTLY BEEN REACHED WITH TW IN ONLY LAST DAY OR TWO that will permit the release of considerably more information on the contractual relationship between TW and TTN. A PR may come out the week of 23 June that could reveal this relationship publicly for the first time. If so, the PR will likely also reveal fresh evidence of TW's attempts to get TTN launched at the first opportunity. This could finally mark the beginning of very exciting times for TTN (and for QBID Shareholders). Question:...Could news a couple of days ago proclaiming that same xxx marriages in Canada are now legal have anything to do with what is happening?
