I am calling out in case people do not realize that this is the same company and they should also take a stand.
Why boycott them when a vendor is selling their product as a loss-leader, as Fry's did in selling their Cat-5 cables for 99 cents last week? Of course, I am happy to boycott them when they sell product at their normal absurd prices.
