Quite frankly there wasn't much to sleuth out after the guy posted right on the board he made the thing up.
I was ready to listen to the guy, because well these things happen. It can be an isolated thing or the tip of an iceberg you never know. It can also just be an impatient customer or a supplier who got lax in business practice. You can't just accept these thing at face value. You have to ask questions. Well, I did ask questions and never expected to get the response I got.
I was also taken by surprise to learn that Missouri Cannon Works was in negotiations to be come a sponsor.
