Oh yeah Jay, I do remember that now that you mention it. That didn't last long, did it? LOL
They knew a good thing when they saw it. The fact that people would pay additional fees to one TPG just set the way for all the others to do the exact same thing. A great business move on their part, from a then current profit standpoint. Still not a proper thing for any company offering supposedly independent opinions to do IMO. But if the public doesn't call them out and just goes along, everyone gets stuck with it and it is now the accepted practice and too late to ever easily change it.
