I don't know how it could help amazon. I didn't think that was the intent. Wasn't it just a way to infuse cash into Amazon without going through a secondary? Didn't PlanetAll have cash in its treasury at the time of the merger, which got absorbed by Amazon? Sarmad, There was cash and that could be the only reason. I suspect they would close it down rather than to continue to pay to maintain the site. It loses money if that means anything to Amazon. I signed up and tried the site once they bought it and have all these contacts now. I have no clue who they are and what I should write. I did meat a gentleman from Russia and we stay in touch but that was somewhat of a fluke. All my computers have reminder software, email lists, contact phone numbers, etc. I assume everyone else has that too if they have a need. A web site for that purpose seems silly but I am trying to figure it out. Oh well... Glenn
