Alex,
*I* can't make any claims, since that would be making a forward-looking
statement, y'know... and after today's WorldCom "events", I can hardly say
that trusting analysts is a good thing, but if you take the time to do some
research on ALGX, you'll probably see things like: consistency in meeting
Wall St. expectations, a stong management team (after all, they *did* build
MFS), and a conservative balance sheet. We're talking about some
experienced, reputable good ol' boys who know enough only acquire profitable
businesses for pennies on the dollar, and only build from success-based
capital. If you take a good, hard look at the company as a whole, you'll
see a company that has yet to deviate from its original plan, regardless of
economic climate, and will tell you is still on target for profitability.
These are all things I've learned from my own due dilligence via research on
the web, and I'm sure you'll find the same.

`- I think you have mistaken this for an endorsement.
And in the age of cooked books, stated revenue can be
misleading, particularly when it looks too good to be true.
I would be very wary of anyone in this business right now,
particularly a CLEC.
Regardless, I don't think shameless corporate plugs
really belong on NANOG, but I'll allow that perhaps I am in
the minority.

I know. It is going to be a localy company to add to WCOM, MFNXQ, ADELA, Q
and others like that for exact reasons that you have listed.
Cheers,
