The USEnetter thinks, "If I say yes, the price of Joe Bob will go up." "No," he says... In the real world, the price of Joe Bob is based on your circulation (among other things), not on how many people read the movie ads in the paper; the analogy to that here is the number of people who have ACCESS, whether they read net.movies or not. If the site gets net.movies, each person at the site would have to be counted. This comes, by the way, with no sense of accuracy... ---- "Fritz!
