Before you go any further with this you should read ..

Boycotting anything is a matter of personal preference. Amazon came up with something new and innovative before any of their competitors that made their site and shopping experience unique.

I can't help but think that Amazon have a right to protect themselves against a spate of Amazon-a-like clones appearing and eroding the market that they have successfully built for themselves. They came up with an idea, they implemented that idea, and hence they should have the right to protect that idea.

People are, of course, entitled to their opinions. Implying that that opinion is that of the Perl community as a whole, which I think is the attempt here, despite the comment that merlyn isn't participating, is simply wrong.

Kudos to Amazon for staying ahead of the pack.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
