This whole e-commerce thing has wildly optimistic expectations built-in...after all,
catalog/mail-order has been around for decades, and we still have (surprise, surprise!)
retail stores. But with some ppl like the Ms. Meekers of the world, they are only hyping
for short-term personal gain, and they know that nobody is going to hold them
accountable for any statement they made in the past that doesn't prove to be true. It's the
fleecing of America.

Dwight,

We agree again. It is too bad that the analysts do not have any accountability. I understand that in some case opinions vary and so the analysts has to use their best judgement. However, there instances where pure hype is obvious and that should no be permitted.

Very true, and I didn't mention that because evidently there's a bunch of people that have
no problem buying stuff sight-unseen. I have to believe that Michelle realized this issue
when she suggested you sell jewelry off the internet.

This is true. There are people that buy jewelry from HSN although no engagement rings of which I am aware. They bring this "junk" in and ask if it is worth what they paid for it. I can't imagine buying anything if I do not have a clue if it is worth what I am paying for it.
