Thanks for your thoughtful post. RE: Earnings....I'll settle for some nice top line growth this year. It is obvious that earnings are going to get pushed to next year, that there will be increased R&D spending, acquisitions and marketing expenses this year. This is important for long term growth, it would be a mistake to push for earnings this year.

As regards earnings. It appears some have an expectation of positive earnings. Once again, I find it useful to consider what the companies guidance is. No earnings for 2000. Flatish revenue for Q2 but they would endorse some upside for the forecast B2B rev of $3.4M in Q2. I found the company's guidance on revenue rather vague. At one point on the conference call, Goldman suggested the revenue growth rate would be similar to other B2B companies. Then he endorsed some upside to the $3.4 million, which seemed low to begin with (I believe this number came from an analyst's model). I have no idea of what to expect for revenue growth in Q2.
