Re: Wont be buying anymore on the net.
I may be out of step with the rest of the members, and I'll let it drop. However, I don't think that the analogy with SGN holds. The internet is a totally different medium. There are a lot articles speculating about whether it will displace traditional newspapers, magazines, etc. For better or worse, it empowers everybody. It used to be that we had "Freedom of the Press" -- but only if you could afford to buy a printing press! Now anybody can at least attempt to reach a mass audience with their ideas, comments, political ideology, etc.
What I'm trying to say is: You're right; it's not practical to take out an ad in SNG protesting some vendor, but I don't think the Forum is analagous.
OK, I've said my piece, and since I can't come up with any bright ideas for how we could make this work, I'll shut up. Thanks.
