Aren't most dot-com investors betting on future profits, and how long are they willing to wait? When they begin to lose patience, you will probably see some correction. It's the same old story: tortoise vs. hare, or value-investing vs. dotcom-mania. Or, call it Warren Buffet's revenge. (I'm dying to see the market's response to the outcome of the MS antitrust case.)
It seems to me that the high price per share of VA Linux is more a function of supply and demand than of value. Same goes for RedHat. There just isn't much stock available, and there are plenty of people who want to get in on the action no matter the cost.
FYI, I'm not too worried about the fact that VA Linux bought Andover.net. The Internet is a big place, and there are other places to read the news and to discuss events. If slashdot shows signs of rigormortis, others will replace it. There are too many intelligent and outspoken readers following slashdot for this not to happen. This will keep Rob and the others on their toes.
