My father is a 37 stock broker, and tonight he showed me a news item which came over his 38 company's internal wire service describing (fairly accurately) the 39 boycott and your roll in it. Apparently it has been widely 40 distributed among the brokerage firms, and AMZN was down 7 points 41 today on the news (at least, there was no other readily-apparent 42 reason for the downturn). 43 </p><p> 44 Perhaps now that Amazon is getting hit in the pocketbook, they'll 45 pay more attention. 46 </p><p> 47 Congratulations! Keep it up. 48 </p><p> 49 As always, best wishes,<br /> 50 Nat 51 </p> 52 </div> 53 54 </div><!-- for id="content", starts in the include above --> 55 <!--#include virtual="/server/footer.html" --> 56 <div id="footer" role="contentinfo"> 57 <div class="unprintable"> 58 59 <p>Please send general FSF & GNU inquiries to 60 <a href="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><gnu@gnu.org></a>. 61 There are also <a href="/contact/">other ways to contact</a> 62 the FSF.
