bp, <g> No offense intended!! <g> I loved the site. It put the internets in perfect perspective for me. CNBC showed a revenue/income chart for something called XOOM earlier (revenue a bar going steadily up, income a bar underneath it going steadily down). Where do these people get their business training? Do they actually say to themselves "well, we'll make $60,000,000 in 2001, so we need to budget $80,000,000 in expenses." Who in their right mind would pay to own a company that tells you that for every dollar they make, they're going to spend $1.33 to generate it? At the $60,000,000 revenue point!!! When you're making $60,000,000, absolutely any company in the world should generate a profit (unless they're on their way down from $100,000,000 and screwing up badly). Simply astounding. Anyway, I don't know if Larry Ellison is really connected to the heyidiot site, but at least it's refreshingly honest about it's intentions. Dave
