<<On one hand, they trot out their in-house member numbers to differentiate themselves whenever they want to justify their stock price and ad rates. On the other hand, they lately seem to be having to reach beyond their captive members, to the Internet as a whole, for their continuing growth. They can't have it both ways.>>

Hoi Polloi: [Greek, the many]. the common people; the masses; usually patronizing or contemptuous.
