If you are going to engage in fanboi debate, at least get your listening skills right -- oh wait, that's the whole point.
In any event, it may have eluded your notice, but you are the only person who says things, and keeps saying them, about Agency and price-fixing being syonymous.
Why yes, they did fix prices. Yes, they forced the agency model. No, those aren't the same thing, and no, we don't think they are anyway -- no matter how much you accuse us of it.
You do the same thing every time you get backed into a hole.
