Letters to the Editor

MORE ON AMAZON
I appreciated your Editors Note in the February issue. As shoppers, I think it is important that we look a little deeper than the price to determine where we spend our dollars. I, too, am a very satisfied Costco shopper, except when it comes to their packaging. I understand their desire to prevent theft and sell multiple quantities. However, it seems with a little thought and innovation, they could do that in a much more environmentally friendly way.

Just got around to reading the Editors Note from February. As always, it is well written and well presented. I hope someone at Amazon (who does their branding) reads it. I have never purchased an item from Amazon and never will for exactly the reasons stated. Plus, I am a champion of small business. Thank you for writing it.

Thank you for your time and effort on the Executive Q&A with [Intellectual Ventures COO] Adriane Brown in the March issue. It showed who Adriane is, helped define IV better and spoke to what she is trying to accomplish here.
