Joel, I don't know for sure, but I suspect that to a greater or lesser degree they might. The "big deal" is that using credit facilities and other borrowings to fund receivables eats at a company's ability to expand. The issue is not whether competitors do the same thing. The issue is the financial impact on the company. As a LU shareholder (from the very beginning) I am becoming increasingly concerned with what appears to be an erosion of operational efficiencies such as poor cash flow due to slow collections and poor inventory turnover.
