I agree. I just see the end result as being no different than if I
had one shipped to work. But that's the funny thing about morals -
we bend ourselves around them to feel good about things even if
we're essentially still doing the same thing as the thing we think
is "immoral".

Well, like I said, when I see a deal that is limited to one per
household I just have Rachael's Dad order it, which I'm glad to see
you agree is perfectly A-OK. Maybe it means I get my second DVD a
week or two after the first, but I can handle that.

I don't think I've ever seen a "no resale ever" restriction on these
deals. So I guess I'm safe in your opinion.

Ok, so we're agreed on that. If I knew my neighbors well enough I
might even consider getting them to do that. :)
Now, what about the roommates situation? Do they qualify as a
household because they live at the same address or are they not a
household because they are not related/married, etc?
