Any resource is finite. My biggest hope is that this puts the sanity back in a marketplace where insanity ruled for a long, long time. Certainly the internet has spurred the dialog about the world we all, at the "bottom", wish to live in. And if those at the top don't wish us to have that world, maybe an internet revolution is the next step. And that's probably what scares them most of all.

And taking out the (useless) middle men in the process is a GOOD thing, at least for HUMANS," Or another way to think about it is to say that the only middle men are other ordinary people like ourselves who recommend things for us to buy. I can't wait to think how much better society will be when the big companies no longer get to tell us how to think. I particularly like the part where you say:

And down with the bastards who would make that impossible. I hope one of those nasty medieval diseases does a gotcha on things they really treasure....
