Chris, though I have some sympathy with the mid-Jan argument, hence setting back my put loading time, I have to wonder how much more can be added to the recent excesses, especially in reaction to brain dead internet IPOs.

Internet sales are cheaper because of the eyeballs game. E Commerce cos. figure they lose money, and they are, on sales of goods if they get the traffic flow. Traffic flow allows them to advertise their eyeballs to other E commerce retailers. I think this is faulty logic. If nobody makes money, the advertising money eventually either dries up or becomes all barter.
