[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 2409822, member: 14557"] Oh, how true. I could give examples of ungrateful wretches all day, but that would be bad. Personally, I think that buying something online is cheating. To me, shopping is when you go to a store and look for what you want, not when you go to a web site and put in your credit card number and they deliver it to you. The only time I buy anything online is when I absolutely cannot find it in a physical store that I have access to, or if I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to find it if I did look. This, of course, is my opinion, and other peoples' mileage can vary. I really like my FLGS, Dream Wizards, in Rockville, MD. They stock Shadowrun, Battletech, and Exalted books, which my Barnes & Noble never will, and they're pretty much guaranteed to have the new WotC stuff in the day it comes out. That they're on my way home from work is just gravy. Their store is bright, clean, and doesn't smell, unlike some others I could rant about (cough*Compleat Strategist*cough). The staff, while not gregariously friendly, is reasonably helpful, and they recognize me and my friends. Heck, I don't even mind the "uphill both ways" walk to get there from the Metro station, since I can use the exercise. :) I'm also fond of Comic Quest, in Evansville, IN (which is where I fly to go visit my parents). Every time I'm home, I make sure and purchase something there. Brad [/QUOTE]
