I completely agree. I certainly wasn't suggesting that my scenario was
likely. I was simply giving a scenario of something that Amazon
could do which was relevant to this forum, and would not be good for consumers.
I think if Amazon thought my scenario was in their best interests, they'd do it in a heartbeat, but I don't think they'll decide it is in their best interests, and so I don't think they'll do it.
