: Well, I didn't know that my message would have such an impact. I was hoping that maybe someone else, most likely someone in Britain (where the article in question was published) would have heard about it and could throw some more light on the subject. Obviously not.
The followup to Seamus's message, posted from someone going by the name Patrick Toulas, was the spark that ignited the powder keg. This fellow, who has never posted before and gave a bogus AOL address, posted an outright lie purporting to give details of the licensing problems that Wested was having.
Seamus was simply looking for clarification on something he read. If it weren't for the deception by that other guy, I don't think we would have had such a reaction. Now, I'm curious about this leather wholesaler...
