Capt.-- that period of time did /not/ last long either and was probably a 
fluke in the first place . The fellow mixing soap needs to know a thing or 
two about marketing if he's ever going to sell it and that's got little to 
do with SE placement. Yeah, Jeff Bezos did o.k. after spending how much 
money??, but there's a lot of dog food floating around the Yukon too.

So how about those regional sites and links?? That's sounding pretty darn 
good all of a sudden.
