At least we have a working prefix for those devices now.

Wait, what? They have their own forum. Oh, I get it -- as activity here dwindles, two amazon forums will merge into one? But then because fire is android, other android forums can merge as well, in some sort of a forum layout refactoring procedure.
It boggles the mind at the new opportunities for misunderstanding and disagreement such merging will provide. However, to existing forum members, the intruders who act like they own the place will be perceived as hijackers (or worse), for even more exciting "conversations"...
Perhaps it is time for the "old school" generation to step aside as the ground shifts beneath our weary feet, just as I was starting to feel at home after a long journey.
Adding "fire" to our forum is an apt description after all, while our existing content is the fuel source to be "kindled" (i.e. burned from "above the fold" activity) and buried deep beneath unrelated content.
Such mongrelization destroys cultural diversity (yes, even within geek culture like our corner that was set aside to protect and preserve).
