Simple: >It also isn't going to produce unlimited profits for any schmuck who manages to set up a website, either. Remember BBSs back in the 80s? There were tens of thousands of those, and tons of people used them.< YA, I remember quite well. It's TOTALLY obvious that ALL Internet companies WON'T make it. Anybody with half a brain knows this. BUT 80% of the companies better have a web presents or at least an e-mail address. Our family owned business was among the first companies that owned Fax machines in our industry. A few years later everyone had them. Back to the BBS's, I don't think people wanted to make money off these. And remember, there was a lot of opposition to the Internet going commercial.
