> is not the etailing's key advantage. If you take away the sales tax advantage, I can find most items for the same price from local dealers, and I can get it within 10 minutes. But hey, it's all about the "touch and feel" of the keyboard as you stare into a computer screen, right? I mean, people couldnt really be drawn into the biggest financial pyramid scheme in history, could they? The average Joe is a thoughtful, introspective investor. (still averaging down, william?)

Internet sales will be taxed at some point, but temporary freedom from sales tax is not the etailing's key advantage. William, I have to agree with you here. Convenience is the key in my opinion. There are other parts to the game too but the sales tax is the least of the issues. Glenn
