Did I even hint at sticking metal spikes up anyone's butt?? No .... I said "skewed" ... as in a off level, or out of statistical normality. And, I wasn't the first one to say it, mind you. That was krisk. I'm not in my Vlad Tepes mode today.

Well let's just say that where the gluteus maximus is concerned, you have a little bit or a reputation.....

Having already put down my money for it, wouldn't it be fair to let me have four votes??

Just saying ....

Oh, and a lot of the Sony owners are in locations where they are not "permitted" to own a Kindle, or they thought (strangely, in my personal view) that the Sony was the better product. So, sure, there are probably a lot more Sony owners than Kindle owners. Doesn't make me love my Kindles any less.
You only get ONE vote so quit whining. Sony owners only get one too.

Not being permitted to do something doesn't mean you can't do it, tho, right, RM?

It does tend to make for less people voting Kindle than Sony, though, if you get my drift.

Nah, not my style. I'm not fond of alter-egos and masks, even when I'm out there fighting crime, my cape billowing in the wind, and my spandex suit causing me to itch like crazy.

'sigh........

Yeah I know.

Do you suppose, what they say is true?

That most Kindle owners are "older" and don't haunt boards like this?

So we know they are out there, right ? shouldn't we get some "obviously if they are they would vote we'd win, so why not let us win now anyway??"

I'm just sayin'............

No, pretty much what krisk just said. If it's cheaper and more widely available, more people are going to buy one. The market basically turns on those two points.

Only with ketchup.

No wait, that was that other thread. What was the topic again?

Oh and perhaps with corn on the side!
