This isn't going to populate the shelves with things that people buy, because that is done via the 1 dollar = 1 vote method (sales). It will give advertisers the ability to figure out how to get people to buy the items they want to sell, because it will help them hone product placement. It's just like how fast-food restaurants know the right place to put their high-markup meals (I think it's top left on the board), because they know that people look there first and often pick the first thing they see. Ah well, this has little to to with the purpose of the discussion list, so I'll stop now instead of ranting some more. Bill
