Bob,

I've been contemplating the same issue. I have no conclusions.

I just upped my position in Mecury General (MCY) and they use independent agents so it may be a bigger factor for them.

I'm not certain how much you actually save via internet though. You still have to advertise/spend money to get business or links to your page. I wish I could find some numbers.

One part of the equation (at least in MCY's case) is that agents can act like a front line underwriting process and increase the quality of the business.

If you gain any insights let me know.
