Aftr som significant changs in th stock markt during 2000, popl bgan dropping
th dot-com from thir nams as if that wr th caus of markt troubls. Som companis
ar still using e and I indiscriminatly, but it shouldnt b long bfor thos vowls
fall into disfavor th sam way that dot-com has.
Clearly some balance is required. The New Economy shunned all of the old rules
and had an interesting ride in the same way that a child has an interesting
evening when rules of good nutrition are ignored and an all-sugar dinner leads
to an exciting evening followed by the inevitable crash. Im not suggesting that
we need a crash and Im looking forward to a crash. I am looking forward to the
time when e-Business grows up and becomes Business.
