What's the deal with "Boycott Smart Parts!" ad infinitum? I've heard a few references to something SP did/is doing/is that makes people angry. But I've yet to find out what it is, just vague mentions. Can someone please enlighten me and explain the story? Thanks.

I dont think they are suing electro frame makers just electro markers so wgp would just have to sell the eblade seperately which would be great for me :D I like my eblade
