The *beggining* of the Internet revolution? You missed it by almost 30
years :-) (I was just talking to a guy who was there for the installation
of IMP #1 at UCLA.)
You are a pioneer. The revolution starts when it is being adopted by the
masses. This is what is happening right now. Ebay is a part of it. The iMac is
a part of it. Mass use of the Internet will change it so that the pioneers
will have trouble recognizing it. The next few years will be interesting.

The past few years have been interesting, too. I would say the revolution
*ends* when it has mass appeal. eBay already had 1.5 million users before
they went public. Now they are a $5 billion company and advertise is the
mass media.
I'm interested to see how law gets enforced in such a community. When you
see laws broken, such as the misleading and deceptive advertising laws,
and others that I've mentioned before, what comes next seems pretty
obvious to me: the ebay police.
