I agree in principle. I believe the provided definition is too restrictive.
By that definition, I could not offer a hard-to-find item, such as a T-20
TTL adapter to this select group and "keep it in the family", so to speak.
Having said that, I would not want to be bombarded with solicitations from a
large for-profit business such as B&H or Adorama (both of whom I've dealt
with and have been very satisfied), but I don't see that happening. Thank
goodness my DEL key works <g>.
Surely we don't need yet one more rule to live by.
