Is the internet killing our hobby shops?

From the above and from some general observations it appears not everyone who owns a LHS is really a business man. Many of them don't get it. By the same token, the guys who rant and rave and buy in online will complain when there's no local shop to help them figure out why the stuff doesn't work like it should. I lived in a rural area without access to a LHS for 20 years. I moved to an area where there was ONE LHS. I always gave him the first shot and he always took care of me. I now live where there are THREE LHSs within easy distance. I patronize them first, I ocassionally order from my friend who had the one shop nearby(mentioned above)and he STILL takes care of me. Once in a while I will buy on line or on ebay but usually I give the guy who I can look in eye the first shot. If he can't get it, well then it's another story entirely.
