I've never heard of any other web site that stores the "security code"  
printed on the back of your card. It defeats the whole purpose of a  
printed security code on the back of the card. I've also never seen a  
web site so proudly display the "hacker safe" logo even while in the  
middle of a hacker attack. Oh, and their shipping prices are  
completely insane. :)
