So you're saying that it's perfectly fine for you to choose to base your response on just one unconfirmed and unsubstantiated news report because it fits in nicely with your pre-conceived ideas, rather than investing any time and effort attempting to find out the true facts?
Not a role model I'd have chosen, personally, but that's up to you. ============== Okay, that's not true. I googled and found the news story all over the Net. Here it appears in the Washington Post. And evidentially a Time sof London reporter went under cover to the UK warehouse. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/16/AR200812160083 0.html I like Amazon, and I don't like seeing this. But not liking seeing it doesn't mean I will close my eyes to it and go into denial. It is possible worker abuse is a problem at only one UK warehouse. But that is still not good. Personally, having sold third party through Amazon, a lot, I find it credible (as a third party used bookseller). And I am going to keep my eyes pealed to see if any more stories come up in the future.
