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.....
