The tone from your first post has been rude, aggressive and condescending - it was never polite. It may seem foreign to you, but it is possible to correct incorrect data or disagree without being abusive. Do you speak this way to people face to face? This is NOT the way to make UHH a welcoming forum where respectful discourse can occur. People don’t “need to be corrected”, YOU seem to need to “correct” them, which is fine, but it needs to be done in a respectful manner.

How about this: “ I believe your data is in error, perhaps you’re looking at gross sales? The correct number for Amazon’s yearly profit and year over gear growth is…” (followed by an appropriate link). How hard is that?

I'm waiting for a company to come up with a plan that would say look, we understand how commercials interrupt the viewing experience so we are going to do three minutes of commercials at the beginning of a show, a one-minute commercial halfway through, and three minutes between shows. If it weren't for commercials, all exporters of content would be charging high prices for their downloads. I would rather have some commercials and pay 15-19 for a service than the 70 they charge for the ones that are commercial-free. If I had to pay for all the services I currently receive, the bill would be around 350.00! That would be more than I was paying for cable.

Two years ago I quit the cable service that was charging 235.00 a month and started steaming. Now I pay around 140 a month for most of the year but for five months I add Sling for football and basketball and pay 210. After the Nov. to March period, I drop Sling and go back to the 140-a-month billing.

The difference is 2820 vs. 2030, or a savings of about 65.00 a month.
