Why doesn't the Guild just sell it's books through Amazon? That would fix those conspirators and antitrusters.

This board is the only place that I am confronted by random penguins. The rest of my life is totally devoid of penguins. From where I sit, the government is doing a fantastic job handling the penguin problem.
