Sigh. Any sly accusations of monopolization are purely figments of your imagination. The point was that one can not make simplistic pronouncements that have any accuracy when dealing with the law. In theory at least, there are certain tests which must be met before anti-trust kicks in. As I have said many, many times in this thread, the use of loss leaders is a standard practice in sales. Yet, it can lead to anti-trust charges in some situations. The situation is not simple and does not lend itself to black and white declarations, no matter how impassioned one feels about one company or another.
