It's not immoral because they're a gift! You've told them, and they keep giving them to you! It's not like Amazon is a single mother on the breadline, they won't even notice! Actually, are you sure someone isn't actually sending them to you as a gift? I mentioned to Lucy about this and she said that one of her friends is obsessed with Oprah Winfrey and she suddenly started receiving the Oprah magazine. She thought someone at Oprah had noticed she was on the site a lot and began sending it to her. Shortly after this their friend who lives in Australia asked her if she had received her birthday present yet, but wouldn't tell her what it was. She said no. This went on for about 6 months (you can see where this is headed), and eventually she asked what her present was supposed to be, and it was the Oprah magazines! Spend them quick!

She told me that if it weren't for that game she could have got a distinction in her art foundation course. Which I take to mean she has had a lot of practise, since at least 2003.

I think it's more likely that the rest of you are just rubbish. I think bringing Laura’s integrity into question is a very risky move. I think it’s more likely that the rest of you are just rubbish.
