Not an investment bank, since Lehmansingular[1] — as it once was, doesn’t exist[2].

No, Lehmans is an online hardware shop — online, I say — for people who don’t use electricity.

We should rejoice that a website that started out serving the Amish community — being a group of traditional church fellowships known for simple living, plain dress and a diffidence towards the convenience of modern technology — online can, notwithstanding that fairly gaping flaw in its business model, have made a much better fist of surviving in business than its giant financial services conglomerate namesake did.
