Re pet stores, that is one of the most crowded spaces right now on the the retail internet front. I've got to bei;ieve that the b&m pet sttores will always matin their web stites, no matter waht, just to maintain another level of exposure to their customers- they don't really need to make much $$ from it. But many of the pure internet pet stores will be gone soon imo. Maybe that will help pets.com & AMZN. Victor, I hear (cannot confirm) that Petutopia is looking to go public. I also hear that Kleiner Perkins a la Bezos does not approve. It may be time that the FTC look into Klener Perkins to see if they are trying to manopolize the VC space with their sheer size to reduce competition among the larger and more powerful underwriters such as MSDW, ML, DLJ and GS. This is rumor and my opinion only.
