Why does anybody else have to care about what industries you happen to like
or not? As long as Gary Dahl and his shareholders are happy, who are you to
complain?

We don't live in a theocracy where *you* get to judge whether legally
accrued profits are to your liking or if a buyer of a company is allowed to
see value in it that you can't.

Stick to the facts: profits =! valuation.
