Matt,
What you describe is fraud, and illegal in most countries. However it is,
as you point out elsewhere, very small potatoes, and Walmart isn't about to
come after you with sticks or anything. But whatever.
Leaving that aside, the tone of your post is very defiant; you're almost
asking people who object to this kind of dishonesty to call you on it. Can
you please not bait people like that on Lugnet?
Lugnet would be closer to it's ideal if less people baited and less people
responded to bait.
thanks,
James

| Good point, James. I had no intention of baiting anyone, but a debate does walk that fine line, yes? -Matt . (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) How exactly is this fraud? Walmart doesn't say you can only have purchased the items from them, nor do they usually ask for a reason for the return. Just trying to clarify... Jeff (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
