    You can only compete with yourself if the other site has it's own management and can write and implement it's own business and marketing plans. Otherwise it's still a monopoly. Eventually, if done well, it should give you greater Market share split between the two sites.
    Retired from punting, yet still here?

    Perhaps a competing site where no sense of humour is tolerated would suit you?

    That's the way Standard Oil worked back in the days of Rockefeller. They controlled most of the market directly, but they also had secret subsidiaries who charged higher prices to people who were so annoyed at Standard Oil that willing to pay more to "competing" companies.

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    This thread is more a snide attack on a posters comment.
    I would be inclined to agree with you, JC.

    Was it a complaint, or someone expressing an opinion.

    There's something in that name which just fails to excite me.

    Interesting share. Did you wonder if you should share that with me? (Is it not a bit like giving a terrorist bomb making tips)
