Earlie: <<...there is very little evidence around so far to show that the net is a place where anyone can turn serious profits>>. Surely you're not saying that Dell and Cisco are not turning serious profits on the net are you?

You also said << To me, the net is just one more way to flog products among a huge number of approaches>>. That's like folks who said television is just another means of communicating, or airplanes just another means of getting from place to place. If you really believe that about the net, IMO you are very very far behind the curve, as were horse breeders and wagon makers at the time the automobile began to be mass produced, etc. etc. Perhaps you were referring to the internuts. If so, you might give some consideration to the idea that companies like Dell and Cisco are also internet companies, whose experience with the web is both deep and profitable. Regards and aloha.
