Does deleting threads equate to burning books?

Don't think they will, Amazon is a powerhouse retailer that dwarfs an UBI. I look up products that I am contemplating purchasing on Amazon and when I read the review I just shake my head and walk away.

Here is a good example of Amazon at work the LotR, Blu-Ray Theatrical release is set for 4-10. It got thrashed because they are holding onto the Extended Version until next year! So it got over 2000 negative reviews pre-release. It will not sell and folks will just wait till 2011!

Some products get royally trashed on Amazon, Amazon could care less, they just want to sell. When I put together my HTPC I followed Amazon customer recommendations and chose Pioneer over Denon and Onkyo. I have never regretted the decision. The customer reviews were spot on!

As far as deleting unwanted threads, its their forum, its certainly poor form, and if the customer is always right, they have broken the first and only rule. All you can do is spend your money elsewhere.
