Eliminating the merchant account is the stroke of genius. The benefits will outweigh the drawbacks for many people, sellers and buyers alike. And if you don't want to give someone an imprint of your credit card, you can pay with PayPal, an

Reddit does secret hellbans? That's awful! I'm glad I hang out on HN instead. EDIT: Arc seems to have eaten my <sarcasm> tags. Truly an inferior-lisp.

The Google-juice argument is slightly convincing, but any right to republish the document remains with the original copyright holders, no matter what Scribd claims. (Consider YouTube in a similar position.)

Two foods have reliably caused symptoms that I connect with MSG: the fried rice from one particular place near where I went to school, and Doritos. I can eat equivalent amounts of other fried rice or corn chips without symptoms.
