Ruin?  That was one of the bigger laughs I've had all day!

Oh, the, "I don't think you understand what I meant because I didn't say
everything I meant," argument.  No, I entirely understood what was said.
If you omitted key points, that's entirely on you.

Additionally, your ignorance is showing -again-.  You believe a web
environment is "controlled", and someone "keeps" you -anywhere-?
Erm...Control-W, *boom*, tab closed, I'm done.  Or I just navigate
away.  

I've "walked" out of the shopping carts of vendors who pissed me off by
making it ridiculously hard to spend money on them, notably when they want
to refuse to ship to a P.O. Box.  NewEgg, regrettably gone.  TigerDirect,
gone.  I could name more.  All had what you seem to consider "controlled"
environments.  

They had zero control; I was out of there when I wanted to be out of there.
There's no more or less control with PayPal's cart, and there's a hell of a
lot less overhead, especially as all the PCI compliance rubbish is on them.
I've -zero- regrets over using them.  It was the right call over a decade
ago, and it's an even better call now, since the PCI standard has gotten
even more stringent.

I don't sell rubbish, nor do I sell impulse buy items.  Between the
specialised nature of the software and the pricing, someone is either
serious about purchasing from me, or they're not.  PayPal's native offering
suits my model just fine.  Honestly, if PayPal's cart system (whose
"Continue Shopping" link works just fine, by the way), confuses someone
-that- badly, I'm probably better off -not- having them buy my software.
If they can't manage to work PayPal's shopping cart, or hire someone who
can work it for them, I'm likely going to massively take it on the chin in
support overhead, and they're best avoided from the start.  Consider it an
IQ test, or customer pre-screening; take your pick.

> You got to be crazy if you think I'm gonna go through each of those

Dude, it took five minutes to disprove your idiotic assertion.  Unlike
you, I actually tend to -prove- my claims when I make them (or at least
make sure they can't be readily disproven), so I bothered to take a couple
minutes to make sure my facts were unassailable.  You could do worse than
to learn from that example.  They call the concept 'due diligence'.

The only thing that's more incredible to me than your ridiculous claims
is that you're fool enough to keep coming back to try and save face after
you've clearly and irrevocably lost.  There's no saving face, here; you're
flat-out -wrong-.  Again.  Yet.  Still.

And I feel no shame at all for calling you on it; you're flat-out doing
this to yourself.  I've heard of people taking enough rope, but you're on
your seventeenth rope -factory-.

If you were going to try and take a poke at me, you'd think you'd at least
try to have your ducks in a row when making the attempt.  I mean, you could
at least make it challenging once in a while.
