My growth this year far exceeds that of Amazon. But unless you plan to address a national and/or global market, your opportunity for 50% revenue growth wanes before that of Amazon's (maybe I'm wrong about this too -- tell me if you think so). BTW, I guess I knew your web site had done wonders for your business -- congratulations on your most important investing success. Retailers do not give away margin if it is not necessary. Well I'm not sure how you'd define "necessary", but retailers do this sort of thing all the time from my observations. We'll probably never hear any details on the success of this Free Shipping strategy, but in may be part of the reason they forecast lower margins (or is there another much more major reason margins would be down naturally for their current Q?).
