Well, go to Japan and get it! O, but geez, if I don't follow the proper protocal then I may end up with a negative and possibly suspension because this person can ruin my reputation. WTF? and I mean that!
They have lost respect from many sellers and many BIG name companies. Who says you can't grow too big for your britches? As I see it, they will fall down, how down? I don't know but they should have been nice to the people on their way up because they are going to met those same people on the way down.
