Glenn<Also, AOL had a revenue stream that one could count on.> The implication here is that amzn does not have a revenue stream you can count on? I admit that it's bottom line is in limbo for multiple years but it's revenue stream? After quadrupling year-to-year this quarter? How can you make an argument for amzn's revenues doing anything but sizzling, regardless of how you might interpret the rest of it's results? Robert, Your point is well taken and revenue growth is impressive. However, AOL obtains $22 each month from each subscriber. It takes work on the part of the subscriber to stop subscribing. Amazon does not have "subscribers" as they seem to make one believe. It is as easy for you to go to Barnesandnoble or another store without any more effort. If you find a competitor is better than Amazon, you will go to that competitor. You are comfortable and please with Amazon as a store, but you are not loyal.You owe them nothing. They provided merchandise for money that you provided. You just need a better store and you will go to that better store. Glenn
