I am new on ONSL. I see price/sales ration of 2.5. And revenue growth of > 150%. Don't you think it is very very good for an Internet commerce company? - JC

<<but don't you think there may have been some revenue items that are non-recurring as well?>> I seriously doubt that any one product accounted for as much impact on earnings as did the RCI payment, in addition, products have life cycle, we all know that. But just because they replace xyz modem with abc modem doesn't mean that is relevant either. But as for the real essence of your question, if there was a large one-time revenue item, it should be highlighted as well for the same reason. <<It's not like they're going to stop performing marketing alliances, and it's misleading to suggest that earnings could be viewed as if they were going to.>> Yes, there will be further marketing alliances. But will they be as material on earnings as RCI? Maybe, its not definite. So relative to their history, RCI is material and may not be indicative of future activity. We don't know. Mo
