I suppose this leads me to the next question, to which you may not know the answer:

Companies do not buy an entity of any kind simply as a hobby.

This leads me to believe that Internet Brands sees the ability to potentially profit from FlyerTalk either directly or indirectly — otherwise, they would not have acquired FlyerTalk. After all, Internet Brands certainly does not have the emotional interest and investment in FlyerTalk that you have, Randy.

If the first break-even year was last year, what changes does Internet Brands have in mind for FlyerTalk to ensure that it is profitable for them? Or, does Internet Brands see FlyerTalk as a way of augmenting and increasing the value of their other holdings? Perhaps it is a combination of both scenarios?
