"Marketing rhetoric" and number crunching aside, Dreamhost discredits their affiliates who claim they can offer "the biggest discounts" when Dreamhost outbids them intermittently. That's enough to turn me off of the deal, but the fact that Dreamhost would then slander their affiliates (angry-letter-writing, respectfully-objecting and silently-complicit alike) on the home page is laughably bad business. Thank you for helping my company avoid the mistake of trusting Dreamhost with our business and reputation.

Price Fixing can seriously ruin an economy. I agree with the guy above, its your duty to tell someone. (Can't you get done for not telling them - I know we get done for hiding or not telling the government about anything related to Benefit Fraud, Inland Revenue Tax and Terrorism and probably other stuff too).

There's fine line between industry association standards and collusion. Let the experts sort it out.

Yeah right, the “1 day only”, “9999″ 9th anniversary promo code that pops up again every few weeks, I believe its now been active 6 times in total, 5 times as a “1 day only” sham, and then it was renamed to the MLK crazy 1 weekend sale.
