Nah, there's no logic there mate. "All greeks are liars.." etc.
You had commented or implied, in passing, that magazines get their
money from the cover price, and ads "supplement" that. That is
incorrect.
Re: e-gold, I just think there will appear some "e-gold related
enterprises", if, there some method to reach active egold users
appears.
While there is NOT a method to reach active egold users, the current
situation will remain: there will be no EREs other than silly
cottage-industry ones like Bananagold.
{During our discussion,though, you made an excellent point: I was,
pathetically, worrying about "mere" $1 million to $20 million -like
enterprises that might like to become involved with e-gold. There
will be no such enterprises until there is a way to reach e-gold
users. However, as you pointed out, truly ENORMOUS concerns, Coke,
Amex, G.E., etc, could start EREs and just blow the odd hundred
million on consumer advertising to reach users -- so concerns of THAT
size are exempt from the need for any method to reach e-gold users.}
