    It's absolutely unbelievable, I think because they're turning over that many sales, the negative feedback that disappointed people leave gets swamped by the feedback from terribly naive customers, willing to bet that they haven't installed or fully investigated the product before leaving feedback.

    Only problem with that is, you tell someone to watch their back today, tomorrow they end up getting murdered by someone (they finally crossed the wrong person) -- the next day you're a bloody murder suspect because of the remark you made. It just ain't worth it.

    I was referring to "buyer beware" but my Latin is terrible.

    Metaphorically speaking there is little difference between the two premises. But it does take a lot more guts to say "watch your back" in anger to a person who has done you wrong than it does to casually say it to a friend in order to warn them of something. I guess also that you could argue that one is a "threat" while the other is a "warning", but they both could imply the same thing which would of course depent on context. Language is very interesting to think about, and I'm probably doing way too much of it
