Doctorgreenback, thank you for your additional input on the IBE. I can understand your disappointment that it was not as big of an event as far as number of people are concerned, and I share that view. I think many here thought this was going to be a much bigger media event than it was. Our mistake. On the other hand the IBE was a very big event symbolically in that it was the kick off of their marketing campaign, and possibly very big practically due to the people present and the resulting contacts. It also sounds like ideaologically (correct word?) it may have been a watershed event also in that a whole new way of engaging in import/export was being presented, to the delight of some and the dismay of others. The concepts seems bound to succeed due to the money-saving potential of removing the middle-man. Why else are the experts predicting that the business to business sector will explode in the coming years? However, as Mr. Patience reminds us, it will take time. I suggested a while back that it may be as many as 10 years before the HUGE money results, because most of the world is not even on line yet. However, there is an enormous amount of growth between the current status and becoming HUGE. Sounds like we are in sinc. I'm still expecting some good stuff in the next several months..thanks again for your honest input. Ted
