I would have them institute a pay-per-click scheme, whereby they allow affiliates to post notices
of fab items at other stores, if said stores are already enrolled in their pay-per-click scheme.
that way we could maintain the sense of community that apparently derives from folks trying
to sell things to each other on an hourly basis.  but is that really what youse guys want?
a community of affiliates trying to beat each other to the punch with the latest must-buy item?
