		<description>Those managers at IAC are great bandits, because they are not fully honest with numbers.
They do not disclose revenue and paid subscribers from:

* Chemistry
* Netclub (5,217,427 users, I suspect no revenue at all)
* Udate (if they have any)
* PeopleMedia sites

In the IAC REPORTS Q3 RESULTS they use the word &quot;Match&quot; meaning &quot;Personals&quot;

Some time ago I had emailed IAC about this concern and they replied

Hi,
Chemistry.com falls within Personals.  It is not broken out separately. 
 
Please let us know if you require further assistance.
 
Sincerely,
