I hope this is in the correct sub forum.

Its not any type of dig at RCR. I find the suggestion very offensive.
We have worked hard for 25 years to get a good reputation and are not
prepared for any Company or individual to damage or taint that reputation in
anyway.
When companies behave like RCR anybody who manufactures a similar product
become guilty by association and we are simply trying to distance ourselves
from what as far as we are concerned is unacceptable and damaging to the
whole industry.
I know what you are saying about the new posts option but that still leaves
7% who may not see it and in my view thats 7% too many.
