Changes in policy do not change back that fast do they? Glitches usually get resolved quickly don’t they? Forced them to change the policy back? Or drew attention to the glitch? If there even was one at all? Could it be the Amazon best seller that has them upset?

Or they're just desperately spinning the whole thing, who knows :) Either way, I've never been a fan of Amazon, and now I'm certainly never going to use them again. Powells is my online bookseller of choice.
