   It would be better to *automate* that clicking, but I don't know how   
   to have a web browser just click although I'm sure it would use curl   
   or wget (with a concomitant spoofing of the browser - which is the   
   hard part as they will kick you off the Amazon Vine program if they   
   detect these shenanigans to try to "improve" their algorithms).   
      
   The clicking is using Firefox without VPN so they know what I'm doing.   
   The point is to game Amazon into offering me what I want, for 'free'.   
      
   It works. But I'm simply trying to make the process even more efficient.   
   Thanks for your help and advice. And yes, this is perfectly legal.   
      
   See the sig for details.   
   --   
   (I put scare quotes around the 'free' because there is no cost for   
   anything you order off of vine - and there is no tax or shipping - but   
   your cost depends on your income tax bracket since they send the Feds a 1099).
