I for my part did let them know my decision: I am not any longer buying their
comics (I am a great fan of A+O too, and I did quite often buy several of
a new volume to have a gift handy for a lot of occasions...). They lost a
customer with their behaviour... (And I need more creativity for thinking
about gifts now...)
