Thanks for the feedback. We just fixed some of the more obvious corrections, and look forward to discuss the ones that require a bit more time with the people that we speak with (timeline, etc...).

Are you really going to try to keep repeating yourself in an attempt to compare this shady business to amazon? Amazon is in it for the very long run (they just turned a profit this year). Good luck trying to continue to dance this song to t
