Hello....
I thought the message below said that he would not have purchased the
product if he had known it was not "open" and that the adjectives like
"squat" and "pushing it" were meant as derogatory based on the "non-open"
status of the product. I happen to like the S&S works a lot and feel that
they have every right to close as much as they want...as such I took
offense using that interpretation of the message below. I have grown VERY
tired of criticism directed towards those who choose to maintain ownership
and control of their creative property and tend to react strongly toward
such comments.
If I misinterpreted the message I apologize to Mike.
