staunch,<p>So, that's my blog post. The "Buy a Kindle!" links were very much a last-minute addition. My thought process was really more one of "It'd be nice to steer more cash away from this vendor who pissed me off." The "Oh. There is delicious irony in getting the $100 I was 'owed' by referring people away from B&#38;N" thought came embarrassingly late.<p>My intent in ranting about B&#38;N's poor customer service was to shame them into fixing it or losing customers.<p>By a strict interpretation of your words, yes, I totally realized that my blog post might get attention and decided to capitalize on it.  I don't expect a whole lot, though. The number of Kindles people bought via links from my blog post puts the hourly rate for the time I spent on Savory and the other opensourcy Kindle hacking I did last year at about....what I'd earn working the drive-through line at Wendy's.
