I'm wrestling with the "wrongness" of it, Steve. Laid out in the open it looks dubious, but when you think about it, it's inherent in the nature of coupons. Gift cards, too. I don't know about you, but I've got a stack of gift cards over here that hit their one-year expiration date before I got around to using them, and the vendor promptly ate the money that my donor paid. Do I like it? Not particularly. But it's the way business works, it's legal, and spelling it out in an open sales pitch is arguably preferable to hiding it behind a curtain. I don't like it much myself, but then, I don't buy coupons. It certainly doesn't make me throw up a little the way it apparently does you.
But all that's beside the point: I really don't want to see us attacking a new forum member the way John Robert got attacked here. Or, for that matter, the way Math Whiz attacked you.
