"Thank you for your interest in Kindle."

This line is not from the legal department.

You see it everywhere:

* "Thank you for not smoking."

* "Thank you for your understanding."

The unintended effect (for me at least) is that sentence stands out and I pay less attention to the poor excuse written directly before it. A bit like the way a politician does not answer a question.
