Hello:

Of course Drupal can do exactly what you wish, but can you figure out
how to do so efficiently?  I got a bit of marketing about setting up
site, http://www.packtpub.com/drupal-6-site-blueprints  I have NOT
bought the book.  I might buy it because I want to pretend I could set
up a shopping cart by following the ubercart setup.

If you really open up the site to tens, hundreds, thousands, some
small percentage will nag for more features (like the ability to
blog). It is tough to heard a thousand cats.
