<< It is not replacing anyones need for service.>> Pruguy, I did not say that. What I said is that the internet is bring the buyer and the seller closer together, and eliminating some of the dealers and brokers of old. The point is, people in large measure can meet their own needs differently if they choose to by using the internet. How does a mortgage broker who can only serve a couple of counties compete with eeln, who can serve anyone? People who provide good service to clints will always be in demand, but even they may have to work even harder, and the lousy ones will drop by the wayside. I remember years ago when I used to get gas for my car, somebody would pump it for me. Now almost everyone pumps their own gas, because they saw it was cheaper if you pumped it yourself, and they learned how to do it safely, and found out it was not all that difficult after all. Victor
