First off.... COMPETITION IS WONDERFUL!!!
Secondly... CARTELS ARE BAD!!!
We're agreed then?? ;-)
But, the problem here is that Amazon are trying to eliminate competition...

This has a lot in common with Microsoft's unwritten policy of wiping out
companies that were producing similar products to them. Was that a good

Although it makes me wonder... Could Lotus post-patent the concept of a
spreadsheet?? That would be fun!!! ;-)
