I am right there with vs on this. MANY TIMES I've had to explain to people on this forum that offering suppliers other than those that support this site is no different than walking into your local auto supply, going to the counter and telling one of their customers to go down the street to another store.

In ten years I've yet to see anyone officially associated with this site clamp down on such posts. It shows their class. Since I'm NOT officially associated with this site (good news to some posters here) I have been a policeman on this issue many times.

In the beginning of such policing I was straight forward and almost if not completely rude about it. Over the years I have found that many times those who post such alternative sources, just need to have it pointed out to them what they are doing. It never occurred to them how rude it is. I hope it's the case here.
