Perhaps patrons should decide the fate of winners and losers, in free market businesses, and not the government.

If a company produces a quality product and they have exceptional customer service, they will do well. If not, someone who can provide both will emerge and take their place.

I concur. I didn't post what I did because I want them to intervene. Remember my opinions on stuff like that mirror your own. I'm just so used to government sticking their noses where it doesn't belong.

And therein lies a major part of the problem when the majority of people become complacent
in relying on the government to solve all the problems of the world and of their own individual circumstances, rather than being free, independent thinkers who are self-reliant to solve their own personal problems, without depending on some government 'miracle' to solve it.

As somebody once said, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS THE PROBLEM.”

As with any company, if you're reputable and you run your company in a smart manner and can adapt to technology and change, you will do well. If not, someone else will take your place who can.

That was Ronald Reagan.
And I agree with you whole heartedly. Deeply.

Well this sucks, first I've heard of it, guess I'm not paying enough attention.

I couldn't care less about Mallory, IMO their stuff has sucked for a long time and only got worse like every other company that were bought out by the Kohlberg & Company. Weiand, B&M, Hooker Headers, Earl's Performance Plumbing, Flow Tech, Lunati, NOS, Mr. Gasket, and a couple others were all bought by them in the late 90s. All of these companies had better products and service before the massive buy up.

Now it looks like MSD will fall to the same fate, that sucks I like MSD products and rely on a few of them.
