I deal with 'experts' every day. They all have different opinions. In your universe, the people you talk with don't agree with the buisness model of healthcare information providers...fine. However, according to my reckoning, one reason why many internet companies have gone ballistic is because NO expert knows how to value these companies. You might be right, or you might be wrong, but you yourself cannot possibly know. If you did, you would be short these companies, so why aren't you?. I also don't care what YOU think, but perhaps you should not act as though you know better than everyone else. Also, why is internet advertising a zero sum game. A company advertises, they pay a fee, and people buy their wares. How is that a zero sum game?

Even paved a few sites when the super highway was but a dirt road. Just speaking from a little experience when I say that a more prophetic statement was never spoken(posted). s
