I think I've made some 20 posts today. I broke 300 after getting to work and now I'm an Elite Elitist. I guess that's what 14 hour days will do to you.

Anyway. Like you said, jet, I've definitely noticed a trend with people laying blame on 9/11. I happen to read a lot, and I notice this everywhere that a company is downsizing or going out of business or whatever. Without fail, the problem is 9/11. Every time. EVERY FUGGEN TIME! I seriously haven't heard one company go "well, our business model is severely flawed. We just weren't making money." There's always the blame on 9/11. Man. It must have hit EVERYTHING hard. Everyone had PERFECT BUSINESS MODELS beforehand and now all of a sudden, "consumers just aren't spending." Bullshit. I just bought a fuckin' Xbox and 4 games. I'm buying a computer. I'm not the only one. Nintendo Gamecube sales are through the roof. People are buying. You're just an idiot with no acceptable business plan.
