Yeah, no one should ever question the merits of any stock. After all, people have their retirement money in the stock market and we wouldn't want to make it go down (as if we could) or frighten everyone by saying that it might. If you want to shut your eyes to the risks, go ahead. Personally, when I'm bullish on a stock, I appreciate a reasoned discussion of the risks and possible shortcomings that I may have overlooked. I prefer to know as many pros and cons as I can about any investment rather than to just buy and hope. You might also be interested to know that I am not short EGGS as I think it is not quite the bubble that other 'net stocks are. OTOH, since I see no substance here, but just a "dot com" on a name, and think the whole 'net stock bubble will soon enough burst, I see no good reason to buy this either. I have no reason to want to "scare" anyone; I just enjoy the debate. Note, however, that I could go short (or long, but probably not) at any time. Bottom line is that debate helps both camps, so stop trying to censor free speech (as if you could). Bob
