That link doesn't take you to an article and a search on the site it does go to has no article like this. I would be interested in reading if it can be found.

If they would have spent time on improving their catching instead of participating on a monopoly they wouldn't have to do this. This just goes to show what WLS will do to many companies if it is allowed.

Duke · 03-26-2004, 08:48 PM

Thet don't have to do it. The story is TWO YEARS old!

g0ldy · 03-27-2004, 01:40 AM

LOL

Anthony · 03-27-2004, 05:23 AM

The story may be outdated, but the problems with WLS will continue for long into the future...

JMJ · 03-27-2004, 12:44 PM

Didn't see the 2 year old part. Their bank must be really broke by now then.. Atleast they're getting a taste of what they will do to an entire industry.

I wonder if Kjel got lost in the shuffle?

Kjel · 03-28-2004, 10:15 AM

Um, the "shuffle" referenced in the article happened more than two years ago. In fact, the article was published almost two years ago. I wonder why it's being posted now?
