I was convinced when he said he chose xfce4/xubuntu, but now I'm sure.

This is the only thing Amazon has done annoying enough to get me to buy elsewhere (other than, occasionally, price comparisons).

Fair enough. Then I would say that when "I" said, "Maybe for some. I never watch anything on it," "I" had already acknowledged that not everyone saw things the same way as "me."

Again - I bet you that most people care about the shipping and nothing else. That is an important fact when considering the value prime offers.

I'm not the person who made the original comment, just someone who found your response silly.

Ok, let's imagine for a second that I offer a service. I will deliver any item you want to your door in two days, and I will also supply you with as much manure as you want.

Most people would like the first benefit more than the second. If you're a farmer, maybe you want the manure, but to most people that "benefit" doesn't apply. Is my average customer sarcastic in claiming that all my service offers is two day shipping? No. That's just the only part of the service they would ever care about.

I would bet that most prime customers are interested specifically in the shipping, so to them the fringe benefits are irrelevant.

This is unbelievable. How the hell did things get to this point? How much worse are they going to get?
