“*AT THAT TIME* Amazon had NEVER made any money since its inception. That 
was and is STILL a fact. In Feb 02 one could NOT truthfully say that a 
company would CONTINUE to make money, if (for half a decade since its 
founding up to that point in time) it had never made any profits.”

Just to get the facts straight, Amazon posted its first ever profits in the 
last quarterly results of 2001. If I remember correctly, the stock market 
responded positively too.

I’m not endorsing what Paula said... only stating the _facts_. Whether her 
remarks were made in the light of this information is another question.
