| a little idealism (late in posting) to pass on regarding online shopping...the little bit of idealism that's still in me makes me want to pass the following on from a college friend who's definitely making a difference in this world. Thanks Hari. Actually, I had no idea, but he even has a page in Wikipedia.org dedicated to him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hari_Sreenivasan I googled him & this came up. Didn't know you were this famous Hari....
