<-OT->Fair enough, but do note the decline in earnings was mostly or at least partly due to some extraordinary events ( and charges or investments incured in beefing up the infrastructure etc )like the prolonged outages for example. Case in point. '... eBay Chief Financial Officer Gary Bengier said the down time cost the company $3.9 million in lost revenue, as well as the added expenses taken to reinforce its site.....' Monday reported a decline in second quarter earnings, which it said partly reflected some prolonged outages on its site and investments to beef up its infrastucture... Ok that is it I stop now.
