Re: Revenue over cost cutting
Dave, 

I am not Curt, but yes, I agree. Manufacturers, or should we say some manufacturers, have opened a direct channel other that the ones they have with their retail partners.

Re: Revenue over cost cutting
One more thing. I remember in the early days of the internet, a lot of manufacturers were afraid to sell anything directly because they worried about angering their retail partners. It sounds like this is definitely a thing of the past. Would you agree?

Revenue over cost cutting
Interesitng Curt. I have to say i always favor revenue growth over cost cutting. Revenue allows you to build a company. Cost cutting just makes the stock market happy.
