Not interested in hearing whining from small business owners. They can VOTE their displeasure.
Not sure if this will have any affect, but I welcome it.
BTW Metcalf isn't with BD any more, but I still hold them accountable. They weren't very generous with Layton or jello either.
I haven't bought their gear in decades.

I enjoyed Chouinard's editorial. It is also great to see that I have managed to understand what he sees too.
Some 91% of Westerners agree that national parks, forests, wildlife refuges and other federal lands are essential to their state’s economic prosperity, but Americans who support protecting public lands are badly splintered. Hunters and anglers love and value our public lands, but the “hook and bullet” crowd scares off environmentalists and some businesspeople. Environmentalists love and value our public lands, but hardcore activists scare off most businesspeople and some hunters and anglers. Businesspeople love and value our public lands, but lots of folks get skeptical when corporations are involved in advocacy.
We need to work together to protect our public lands. We all value access to wild places where our air, water and wildlife are safe from pollution and development. We all benefit from the enormous economy generated by the conservation of our lands. And we all hate getting ripped off by hucksters posing as smart businesspeople, threatening not just our economy but our American heritage as well.
Let’s drop the discord, start acting like owners and demand that our elected representatives start delivering the value we deserve.
Anyone that wants to keep OUR PUBLIC lands PUBLIC, needs to accept that hunters, hikers, anglers, climbers, ORV & ATV riders, rockhounds, mountain-bikers, & car campers are all our friends in this fight.
Here's another thread on the subject. http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=2953218&msg=2954554#msg2954554
