Good. I thought so. And I do understand what you are saying, but those that don't know it exists are very likely to get burned by it at some point and then they will know. Or they will find out by those that do know speaking out against it. And regardless of the claim that Amazon is too big to fail* that actual issue has happened and could easily happen again. Amazon is NOT your friend they just want your money.

*(maybe we could bail them out like Wall Street should it happen)
