Not at all - we support those who support us. We do it in our business lives and we do it in our personal lives... it's just the way it is.

First, (I don't know) does RST really support the PGCA or does it just show up to sell its wares? There's a difference.

Indeed RST (read, Morris Baker) supports the PGCA, not only in the gifts of flats of all gauges of his shotshells for our Annual Silent Auction, but in other ways as well.

Second, isn't it fair to say ANY company that bothers to offer a specialty product into a niche market (assuming their product offering is viable) deserves some sort of support from its customer base?

Absolutely! And I will support those businesses whom I choose. But, from me, the ones who reciprocate will get the majority of my personal business.

Maybe we could all team up and really go after those SOB's at Polywad. Just who do they think they are? We'll vote with our dollars, that's what we'll do. Then, if they are still around we'll track them down one by one until there is no more Polywad. The nerve!

Even though that was meant 'tongue-in-cheek', it's just overreacting.

And that's my personal opinion.
