Zitat des Tages über Trauern / Mourn:
Some of us only meet in the most fleeting moments; some of us never meet, but still hear about one another and therefore cherish what we know from what we've heard, and mourn the loss, even though we're spared what the close-loved ones must endure - the ongoing pain of an empty place in the heart for the rest of life.

The Internet rewards scale; by trading higher up-front costs for lower marginal cost, market leaders can invest in better technology and service.
