No reply. Don't really expect one, given the tenor of my email, though.
Did get a nice patch from Ruger, back when I complained about that dealer policy they quickly abandoned.

I received this:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>I’m sorry you disagree with the action taken by Smith & Wesson. There are two reasons why we came to the decision we did.
1. To provide for the future viability of the company. Defending the lawsuits will ultimately put the company out of business.
2. Insuring that we will be able to provide individual citizens with our product in the future. The majority of Smith & Wesson products are sold to private citizens and by making some changes in the way we design and distribute our present products, we will be able to continue providing our products to those individuals legally entitled to own them.
Thanks for your message.

I've got two points for them:
1. Just because they SAY "we'll go out of business if we don't" doesn't mean it's true at all. And doesn't account for the chap 11 bankruptcy laws of which they could avail themselves. No one should believe for one second that they're telling the truth about financial ruin until they've analyzed for themselves internal financial reports. All they did was make a simple economic decision - which price is higher - and I personally believe it's a huge lie that not settling would bring them anywhere near collapse. Also, many of the lawsuits were not even settled by the deal. What about the thousands of other cities who have not yet sued? My butt. They are traitors, pure and simple.
2. They admit they are looking out for shareholders at the expense of everything else (including us). Now this is as it should be, because that's the job of those executives; to maximize shareholder value. BUT, it should emphasize to those who might feel for them the stark contract between what's in THEIR best interests and GUN OWNERS' best interests - they generally parallel, but are NOT identical in this situation. Thus we must try to make them change their behavior by using THEIR pardigm (share value). This is accomplished by increasing the cost of not complying with gun owners interests, who are also customers, by BOYCOTTING.

Chewed em out this morning and let them know that I would not want to hear anything from them...and ruin my day. With Government contracts they will arm the 80,000 plus Federal Police Force whose duties will be to enforce NWO directives on the unarmed sheeple. They are dancing in the street...Klinton and followers...as they each take their turn swinging the proverbial axe at your Constitution and 2nd Amendment Rights. Our Founding Fathers and those ancestors who wrote the Constitution are shaking their heads with disbelief and dismay as elected officials in our country make mockery out of you and me...we all know that those who forget history are bound to repeat it. We have sadly reached the fork in the road where one leads to Socialism and the other stays on the path for Freedom and Liberty!

Nope, no reply to my email. Of course refering to them as "Klinton & wesson" did not ensure a reply.

I did. At the time I signed up at TFL my Kimber was my newest firearm hence the name, I wish I could change it to what I use on the other boards {Jason D}.
I wrote Shultz. I really don't think I will get a reply. At this point in time I don't think they really care 
Maybe when the sales stop up a little, But then they have all their Slick Willie promises to fall back on
Happy shooting
