Not to expose your strategy, but are you trying to cash in on people no longer willing to pay the increased shipping for online orders, which would then have to be absorbed by Amazon, which will tank profits? Just curious.

And tonight got asked a question that I hadn't really thought much of, being non-religious, but cut myself, the question was "shall I circumsize my newborn baby boy?" My Aussie friend said "no", only religious fanatics (meaning Jews, Muslims and Catholics) do that. I have always naturally thought, since it happened to me, it must be good. And I wasn't raised a Jew, Catholic or Muslim. So...folks, for those of us that are not religious, why do we circusize our boys, anyone know? I appreciate any input, out here in the dessert!
