It looks as if most anti-amazon comments are linked to Bezos' pay. Amazon has built a 1.75 billion dollar retailer in a few years, and employs several thousand people. He had no roadmap to work with. For these accomplishments, he is routinely attacked. I think the whole anti Bezos' attitude is bizarre.

let's not underestimate the # of 'credit cards' amzn thinks it has access to. yes i bought from amzn once or twice but likely won't again...a)it was a novelty and b) its not necessary for me and c) i definitely won't be buying power tools from him !!! Ike, It seems you are making reference to the cumulative customer count. They havge my credit card too, my wifes, my son's, etc. None of us will be using them again but we are "customers." Customers in retail by definition are people that have made a purchase within the last 12-18 months. I wonder what that number would be at Amazon. Glenn
