By the way, I have not been able to take a billion dollars out of my site yet??? Insiders did that at Amazon yet they lose money. I make money, so it appears I am doing a far better job.

But you didn't make money the first month (ramp-up expenses), and you'd be hard pressed to serve anywhere near 10M customers. Scaling does cost money in the beginning. Just how long "the beginning" lasts is an issue with Amazon.com.
