Quoted from ReplayRyan:Because an e-mail is a documented/recorded form of communication that can be sent to someone else (like Stern) as evidence. You don't speak Legalese?
Maybe I'm just dumb, but I'm still not understanding the problem here? If I want to buy something on amazon there's a price listed. If I buy a car there's a price on the window. If I buy a house there's a price on a sign in the yard. Sure there's haggling to be done but this is the Information Age, there are lots of vendor distributor options. The path of least resistance gets the sale for me and I'm not playing the hush hush, wink wink, nudge nudge no paper trail game.
No price no sale.
