For an egregious instance of bad customer service which I may or may not go into at a later date, I've been boycotting Amazon.com for over a year now. Meaning, I'll use their search engine, lift their GIFs and read their reviews, but I won't post anything there, no votes, no reviews, no wish list, or link to an item they sell. However, I had to sign in this morning to vote for these reviews. Just. Too. Beautiful.

UPDATE (3/24/2011): As you may have noticed, I got back on board the Amazon train a while back. I got tired of fighting, and learned the real lesson, which is that rebates are for chumps.
