To me this is a sign of real fairness usually not seen in our government. There
is absolutely no reason that a retailer in another state should have an
automatic discount over the one or two B&M retailers left.
Altohugh I must say I've brought a lot of stuff from B&H, but the sales tax
business was of no part of the decision making process. I do it because there's
no credible retailer left where I live.

That's old news, Chris. Last year, I believe, the Supreme Court ruled
that States could charge sales tax on internet sales even if the business
had no physical presence in the State. So it may depend on which State you
reside, but wouldn't surprise me at all when it takes effect. States rarely
pass on a new revenue stream.
