<The nature of this expense makes me want to set it aside and value the business without it. It looks a lot more like an investment than an expense to me.>

I may be mistaken, so please excuse me if I am wrong, but weren't you the one telling me that expenses on the income statement should not and can not be accounted for as investments when I suggested this approach for many value driver line items in growth companies. Otherwise, interesting analysis of the assets.

In noticing the list of interesting articles posted earlier, I could not help but list my own - the Case Against Earnings, located at rcmfinancial.com . I am sure at least some of you will find it interesting. In it I go into detail about the espense versus investment issue, as well as other accounting misnomers.
