Point of order: Eric cannot be defined as a monopolist, but rather a
capitalist.  A monopolist holds 100% of a market share in a given
market.  Eric does not.  A capitalist, on the other hand, is one that
participates in the BUSINESS of marking a product (usually to the
displeasure of competitors) by making a percieved value of that product
better than that competitor.
 
IMHO, he has done a good job of that marketing.  Cren has not.
Want evidence?  Look at the number of sites leaving Cren in droves.....
 
As always, but stated explicitly this time; these opinions are mine and
not those of my employer
