Hello Rick and congrats on doing a great job. Too bad we couldn't advertise it. I owned CHP for a short time but sold it after reallizing how illiquid and unpredictable the stock was I figured it would run earlier with the other internuts. I bought MCNS instead. I'd like to buy CHP back and if I could find out more about how the WEB site is doing I'd feel better. Mr Stephenson????? said it would be 3-years to profitability???? I think it will happen a lot faster than that but nothing to back up my gut feelings. I love the site and the store,and would love to read some numbers on how it's going??(WEB related) Any comments appreciated. Incidentaly, I had a small problem rectified with the phone help and they were terrific. Looking forward to your response. Tom Ablett
