Wall Street has been trying to pressure WN to charge bag fees for years because they're the no-stone-unturned greedy types who don't understand the value proposition and how that helped. I think the comparison of revenue gains being negated by lost business really hits it on the head. Have mentioned before how they destroyed Yahoo Auctions in the aughts by pressuring it to charge an insertion fee when they weren't ready for that. By the time the company corrected the mistake the business was damaged beyond repair, but if they kill off the company with a move like that they just move on to the next one.
