>I tend to think of it more as, us being lucky to have gotten in early enough not to have to pay.< Call it pioneer spirit, call it awareness, call it alertnesss but not luck. We have seen the opportunity earlier and got in earlier and help build SI. I know I sound very cruel and unsympathetic with others but that's not the case. I am telling how businesses work. Until businesses build momentum, they give away products, they advertise extensively etc. etc. Then when the critical mass is reached rest flows in and that's when a business collects the fruits. Just simple of that. Using a similar logic, let me give you an example. Most people usually pay very high premiums for the most popular stocks. They don't complain that the early buyers have gotten in lot cheaper.
