I haven't read it, so, no.

**is so tempted to mess up Bilbo's pretty Karma...**

Now I'm hungry.

Since I suspect we'll be getting shut down anyway, I'll take this opportunity to offer my conclusions.

Not everything in this story has added up as we've gone along. But as someone previously posted, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. I make no claims to know how this all actually started - only that I pointed out one possible Prime terms violation which may or may not be relevant.

I initially doubted the OPs claims that he got his books back simply because of how he first explained that. But things eventually started making a bit more sense.

My thoughts are thus: As more and more people are using the Kindle platform, Amazon would likely have had to adjust their practices for handling closed accounts, especially those involving linked accounts. It appears that in order to avoid considerable future costs (and possibly anticipating that the "license vs buy" issue with regard to ebooks may hit a rough patch down the road) they've started selectively limiting accounts in certain situations. This is a sensible decision, in my opinion.

Why are you asking her again? She already answered you next Sunday.

Yeah, that would have been funnier an hour ago. Timing!

And yes, the above was a meta-joke about comedic timing in a time travel context.

I think I see the fnords.

Then I decided I didn't want to think that much, so I made a sammich and forgot about it. Until NOW.

Before you completely forget about it, could you have those emails send you the latest sports scores and then add me to your CC list?

He could, but because of the butterfly effect the real scores would end up being different and you would get no benefit. But then would the changed scores be what he sent you and another butterfly effect would follow which would change the scores and what he sent you and...

I'm worried because I'm a grandfather and we all know what that means.

CWatkinsNash · 02-24-2012, 10:23 PM

I am a she. Very much a she. Not a he.

And no, monkey, you get no scores.

mrscoach · 02-24-2012, 11:12 PM

Forget scores, I want stock reports. Oh, and sales ads.

It's okay. It was the word "sammiches", wasn't it? I learned it from my male friends.

Um...no...and it makes me wonder about your male friends. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

Repossession is generally used to refer to a financial institution taking back an object that was either used as collateral or rented or leased in a transaction. Repossession is a "self-help" type of action in which the party having right of ownership of the property in question takes the property back from the party having right of possession without invoking court proceedings. The property is then sold on by either the financial institution or 3rd party sellers. The extent to which repossession is authorized, and how it may be executed, greatly varies in different jurisdictions (see below).
