[QUOTE="Coreyartus, post: 1691683, member: 5399"] I totally agree. Someday, consumers are going to get peeved at business opting to "impose" their sense of "what's best" for everyone. Catering to the majority is easy. The majority of their previous customers are going to consider purchasing their stuff without much effort on their part because they'll at least hear about it through promotional channels. Instead their big challenge is getting new customers. And hampering ANY percentage of that possible consumer base in their endeavor to investigate probable purchases is a bad idea. To me, this smacks of lazy web-folk too enamoured with their own sense of ingenuity to acknowledge the needs of their consumer base. "Look at our pretty website. Isn't it cool? Oh, too bad for you if you have to trudge through it to see it all! Buy our stuff anyway!!" Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy... Hearkens back to the mid-80's TSR, don't it? Coreyartus [/QUOTE]
