I am pretty sure that you really did not mean to say that, right Mike? There is no way that DC space is becoming a commodity. There are VAST differences in data centers and they are not going down in price so there is no way that they are becoming commoditized. Being a commodity assumes that they are all the same and that the only things separating one from the other is price....and that's just not the case. I assume that you just got so excited about all the cool things going on for you guys that it just came out wrong ;)

Good to hear about your growth!! Keep it up!!

com·mod·i·ty (kə-mŏd'ĭ-tē)
n. pl. com·mod·i·ties

1. Something useful that can be turned to commercial or other advantage: "Left-handed, power-hitting third basemen are a rare commodity in the big leagues" (Steve Guiremand).
2. An article of trade or commerce, especially an agricultural or mining product that can be processed and resold.

It was used more as a figure of speech T. Apologies for any confusion i may have caused you...

Good to see that you read my posts with such care and attention to detail!!

Love ya man!

Hey I was just looking out for ya, Mike....with all those millions of dollars you keep spending I would hate for you to cheapen it by calling it a commodity. You really should be proud of what you have built, my friend!!!

Perhaps Mike could set aside a percentage of those millions he's spending to take some "tactful ways to promote your company in hosting threads" lessons from Tony and Jim.

Of course, two big paragraphs with bold highlighted print and links to talk your company up, followed by a one line "shucks I dunno" answer to the question the thread asked might the way to go.

What do I know? I'm just a webmaster.

Now that's an interesting question.
