Kind of feel like it's a vast wasteland in here,
Some of the Best ideas and arguments,
in the history of the world,
are hidden deep in this thread,
and this whole Mastermind,
mass psychology,
has defied logic,
and reason for so long,
we just gave up arguing logic,
and reason,
did we come to some consensus,
did we all decide what is going to happen here,
is this game so controlled by the big money,
that nobody even cares any more,
have we all just thrown in the towel,
is everyone just really tired,
really complacent,
or too black and blue,,,,
what is happening here,
at least when KISS is around to make
market direction calls,
it keeps me on my toes,
at least victors bashing
and HJ's pimp stories,
and McNabbs insistence,
keeps me on my toes,
is this story done,
is overhead and multiple products going to kill this dude,
or is this one in such strong hands,
that they will just continue to draw in shorts,
and sqeeze them until the end of time,
I think real opportunity here,
for an upstart,
to learn from successes and failures,
this is not about some
earth changing technology,
this is not about some freeware code,
let me see the freeware code,,,,
I think small niche-monster upstarts,
may burst on the scene
to alter this landscape,
i just keep hearing the words,
overhead,
overhead,
overhead,
and
bonds
bonds
bonds,
and i can't sleep at night,,,,

so the little niche dudes,
are always going to be lean and mean,
and are always going to be the driver,
and are always going to be a thorn,


There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of little niche dudes out there right now. There's only one problem: I know the URL for none. But I do know ONE BIG one that's peculiarly hard to forget. Multiply me by all my neighbors and all your neighbors and all their neighbors' neighbors. See here's the thing: search engines SUCK. I'm not saying you couldn't find one of them thorns, just saying it ain't no fun... not to mention people's totally irrational (yet existing!) fear of giving out their Visa # to "John's Totally Thorny Book Emporium."

Even the Scientologists tell you (mantra-like), as they add new movie stars daily, Big is better...Big is better. BIG.

I was once on the dark side (even lost a few K on puts)... join us believers now, your neighbors will thank you!

ps No matter how Klunky the toy: if it costs less to make, hold, and ship it still helps cover those nasty fixed costs. I'm guessing the new 'dude' from MIT knows how to skim a sweet profit off every item coming down the line. Welcome to Candyland.

I'm just following who your profile told me to follow ;-)
