Rob S. <<<As long as the Internet continues to be the fastest growth industry>>> The internet is NOT an industry. It is a means of disseminating information. It is a means of taking orders. It is a means of distributing catalogs/sales materials that is more cost efficient. It is many other things. But, when it comes to selling things over the internet, I'm still waiting for anyone to articulate a single reason why companies cannot successfully distribute and sell things through traditional retail store, through mail order catalogs, by phone, fax and the internet. Why is selling through brick and mortar mutually exclusive to doing business over the internet? <<< Until the competitive problems which Amazon will eventually face become more apparent and the fever for Internet stocks subsides significantly, don't bet on this one plummeting. >>> True enough, my friend, true enough.
