		<description>Kirk,

I think this is a good point to ponder and I agree with you -- when something is (or has the possibility to be) commoditized, it is experience that sustains a lead position. At that point, it is the consumer and the consumption circumstances that define the product beyond the physical parameters and generally accepted situation -- the unique attributes that your lower-cost competitors cannot necessarily replicate or evoke.</description>
