You seem to be implying that a business *shouldn't be allowed* to underprice his competition because somehow that isn't fair. Pretty naive. Should me mandate bookstores in every little town because it's unfair that the big towns have them and they don't? Should be outlaw Walmart because they're sometimes small local business are closing?

If you can't compete, you don't survive. I *really* is that simple.

I'm not implying that. I am implying that just because a particular store is "winning" doesn't mean that they got to that result fair and square. It's more complicated than that. Also too, not every market outcome is necessarily "right" or best for everyone.
As I said, this is a complex issue. Simple ,"bumper stick type" responses like "If you can't compete, you don't survive" don't cut it-they just short circuit further thought. What does ? Don't know yet, but I know more thought is needed. I'm not really knocking you, either. Its kind of easy to think what's best for you is best for all. I do it too.
