Cool!! A great way to start a reasonable conversation. Compare people who disagree with you to Glen Beck.
Since I'm one of those that mentioned Amazon hate, I'll try for a reasonable answer.
The sale has just been announced. *Today*, nothing has changed on GR and yet there are some number of users who have decided that the end is near and the only option is to run away.
What could be the reason for this sudden desire to leave GR? You don't trust Amazon? I agree it's a big evil corporation, but there are examples of big evil corporations doing the right thing.
To *me* it appears to be a sly bit of Amazon hate or at least corporation hate. Nobody seems to want to wait and see what happens?
In the end, the whole thing means nothing to me. If evil Amazon *does eventurally* screw up GR, I'll make my decision at that time. Until then, they get the benifit of doubt and the opportunity of doing the right thing.
