>If the SEC is taking a close look at Internet companies accounting practices, and they decide to take a hard core stance, this could cause quite a negative ripple thru the investment community as the real truth gets disclosed about their real financail health
A few years ago, a lot of companies went from Gap accounting to Ebita, to make their financial statements look more attractive.
Btw
Did you know that the SEC has lost 30% of their investigators to the companies they're investigating? Fact!!

SPAL,re:"PCLN's revenue". My Englist is bad, acounting is
zelo. But isn't there a 'Sale, Revenue' distinction in
Englist. Maybe they just made an 'honest' mistake and
will reinstate it at the opportunate (appropriate) time.

Maybe that is the 'productivity gain' we ascribed to the
highly priced Nuts.
