Glenn<<Retailing is the same today as it was 3000 years ago. The only differences are the products sold and the type of cash register on which to ring it up. The type of currency and use of credit is the same but that has no affect on how to retail.>> Glenn, you must just be baiting us. How can you say that retailing over a global computer network is the same as a bazaar 3000 years ago? How about profound differences in user interface, back office and front office procedures, and the potential revenue stream for starters?

You are implying your posts are not nonsense? No. I'm saying that OtherChap should change his handle to FurtherCrap! >>retailing has changed forever You're starting to get it. >>Accounting has changed forever. There's no basic change in accounting. There's a change in venture capitalism. Because of the necessity to have publicly-priced stock as trading capital for acquisition, some great companies come public earlier than they used to. >>Retailing is the same today as it was 3000 years ago. You're a retailer? Tell that to Wal-Mart, or Dell, or Coldwater Creek, or Amazon.com.
