Uh, yes I did. You're just pissed and failing to understand that we all deal with this on a daily basis. Your situation isn't unique.

No, it happens. I'm sure I make sales all of the time that I don't get credit for because of cookies expiring or not being handled properly. If I sat down to fret about every potential loss, I'd sound like a raving lunatic.

I reject movie galleries every day because the movies download to slowly. Are you sure that slowing them down is going help sales? We are in a time-tested business which involves handing out free samples on the street corners of the internet. If we tighten our grip on those samples and make it harder for the passers-by to take them, what's going to make them go inside and buy the real thing? That leaves us standing out on this corner in this dumb hotdog suit all day for nothing...
