For the record, I'd like to recant a brash statement. A while back I made a prediction that Internet sales would stabilize because only catalog shoppers would buy from catalogs, whether electronic or paper. Several recent anecdotes have convinced me thatI was wrong. Everything is a commodity, consumers don't care all that much about actually getting their fingers on product, and delivery services are going to start building regional warehouses for drop shipping to undercut FedEx.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
