Doug - do you think they have the infrastructure to handle growth beyond the 20% per-quarter rate? I don't. I haven't heard anything that gives me enough confidence in the "system" end of the business to make me want to buy back in. After that long dissertation on what steps they were going to take some weeks ago after one of the big outages, they have been more than quiet about it. ebay is not a whole lot more than an idea and a computer engine. The engine is way past its major overhaul point yet we're all counting on it to keep the airplane in the air. Any ideas on what they're doing? Mr. K.

Based on the auction count, this eBay baby seems unbelievable; they keep chugging and chugging along no matter what.
