#2Luck played a role in this instance as well.
Having a representative admit to violating their own policy/terms in writing is sort of a slam dunk.
The principle still applies though, good advice afaict.

#3> To put it bluntly, we are not paying you for your conversions
How did the CEO write this and not immediately ^H^H^H it? Could he really not think of a better phrasing than "your conversions"?

#4I wonder if the merchant is sneaking any gluten into their “bread”.
Edit: extra carbs I mean. Getting my diets confused here.

As a non-vi user, I feel very excluded :( ^H means backspace guys. And probably the same type of CEO that wants to make money by not paying out affiliates

Off-topic, but why map a function to a multi-key combination when it already has a key dedicated to it?

Because the h-key is in the middle row of the keyboard, meaning relatively shorter keyboard distance needed to execute that common command, thereby saving typing time.

This made me think of [1] this discussion here about subway and their fake whole wheat bread. It looks like Subway was forced to change their recipe but honestly I don't have faith in any many companies. Instead of offering good food it always ends up "return to share holders" mode and the product turns to crap.

I would guess it's a side effect of having all ascii control chars mapped to key combos [1]
