    I for one, will not be buying from either of the two companies.....our voice has to be heard.....and it's quite clear that the only way to do that is to affect someone's pocketbook.

    I really don't see where it would hurt to have this posted in the "General Chat" section to get more exposure.

    Whadaya think, Primer?
