>>Nevertheles, though it is a big river, whenever their boat looks less than seaworthy, they just buy another boat and shout "Yahooo! This one will get us across!" Of course, with each swamped and broken down boat they abandon, they are farther from the opposite shore than when they bought it, but they keep telling the crew and those who financed all those boats "there are mountains of gold across this treacherous river and we will take you to it, though we can not tell you how for that is our secret and if we tell you, then others with swifter vessels will try to claim our gold - trust us for we have a plan."<< Then again Amazon could turn the shrewdest ShopBot of all (theirs) loose on the Internet and provide one-stop shopping with a lowest-price guarantee. Take all the guesswork out. Handle all the back-office chores for these little vendors, who would ship the goods directly to the customer. One-click reigns supreme, and the mighty Amazon rolls on fed by thousands of "bountiful" tributaries. Jeff Bezos is smarter than the bears.
