"or how NASCAR's Nextell Cup Point system actually works the way it does... ;o)" I wouldn't complain too much; under the old rules, that asshead Jeff Gordon would've won - bleah. Ales - WTF, 'mano? It's not your profit margin, nor your business plan that's facing the big hose here... so, err, why the continued kicking about it? If the site loses vendors, those vendors (in the interest of keeping the money coming in) will find somewhere else to sell their goodies... sure, it's a minor interruption, but otherwise life goes on, eh? /P
