General Discussion

... just said, "I don't use Amazon." Personally, I do use it - as a last resort. It seems, to me, a lot of stuff I buy in stores is getting harder to find. The latest is a certain light bulb I like... CVS and the grocery store have stopped selling them... but I found them on Amazon. Also, I have a friend and a family member selling their books on Amazon. They are both progressive politically. Buying their books there, and reviewing them favorably, helps them. If Amazon were under better leadership, I would visit them more often. Same with PayPal and Wall-Mart. The latter visited once in the last 15 years, for an "exclusive" only available at the store. Hopefully, you and your friend can revisit this topic and continue your friendship... keeping the "door open" can sometimes let some new light shine through.
