RE: iNation moving right along

[Dwayne Lindner <Dwayne.Lindner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think they underestimated the demand - I mean let's face it, iNation is
still new to them, and if we look at an average of US$15 for each gift, with
50,000 members, they're suddenly looking for US$750,000 to spend and will
get very little contribution back from those members - I'd say at least 75%
of the members of iNation have only joined for the free stuff.
