Why has Netflix gotten greedy?

Yo Carl,if you are going to wine thru 9 replys mix some humor in there.Hire a writer if nesc.I never rented on line,but the store I rent from has changed some of the "spiffs" they used to have(rent2/3rd free)(used to be mon-thurs) I'm sure they have their share of inconciderates,scratch the discs,late returns,NO return at all,on and on.I guess living in a place where I have great renter choices I'm lucky.I spent an hr.or so reading an exchange you were in couple of days ago;and FUNNY!better than some movies I've rented(a lot of) I've only been at audiogon 1 wk today,aint watched any tv in (Lakers excepted)that time.I've died and gone to heaven And it is free.We got a great base of dif.opinions, dif knowledge levels.Ive bought a piece,and sold some cables already.Have offered what help I could 10,or more times. seen any of my replys?Don't forget the humor:this is fun,'audios' till next time

George, in starting this thread, I was complaining, and not in a humorous mood. I certainly am not in good humour all the time, and you "whining" about me not being funny enough doesn't encourage me, just heckles me. I'm fascinated that you've gotten so caught up in this forum, and I guess I should thank you for complimenting me about some of my previous exchanges. Perhaps if your tone were kinder (and if knew you meant you were laughing "with me" rather than "at me"), I would. I've seen a few of your posts, and I'm not sure how to take you yet. I'm sort of a lightening rod for personal attacks on here, and must cease being in them, in order to continue participating...

Yo carl_eber. THERE IS a site competing with Netflix, it's called cafe DVD, I think the URL is similar, I haven't joined them yet, but they have like 6000 DVD titles, and offer a package like Netflix used to. I unfortunately am stuck with netflix for a few more weeks as they won't refund partial months, even after I informed them that 3/5 (yes 3/5) of my last rentals were unplayable, usually in the last scenes of the movies, and 1/5 they sent me was the wrong movie! I'm going to try cafe DVD soon and hopefully they'll be like the old netflix. I don't know how you got a late fee, in the days of the old netflix, I routinely sent back movies after two weeks and never got a late fee, the worst they did was Email me to see if they were sent yet (Of course they were!)! I'm amazed at home many movies some of you watch! I consider myself a HT fanatic, and I watch less than many! Fortunately drinking, music and sex keep me from watching to mucH TV!!

Yes, that is fortunate for you, heh heh. Thanks very much, I'll try this CafeDVD, hope they're good!

CafeDVD's prices are cheaper than anywhere, and no mandatory $16 a month mafioso hogwash. I've just rented 4, more later....
