OT* Re:Viagra One thing I haven't heard anybody say is: Often impotence is nature's (the body) way of telling one, that it isn't safe for them to have sex anymore. That the body has broken down enough and can't stand up to the exertion. I think there's a real ethical thing that doctors should look at and examine themselves when they prescribe this (I realize this is in a limited amount of cases, but...)

Roger-FWIW I bought Oct 45 puts today on AMZN-could get no more shares to short. Also shorted a couple hundred DELL yesterday. Competition should begin to heat up soon in the on-line bookseller wars.
