Do you even care if they do or not? We are all creatures of habit. It's easy to spot a shaver / cheater if it is inconsistent, however, if you have been cheated since day one, how do you know when it's happening?

A few dollars from every affiliate here and there isn't going to really be missed or noticed. Neither is a consistent shave, say something like every 10th join gets "absorbed" by the system.

I'm curious what you have to say about this.
