I'll break this down for you.
1) I do not have to defend Rich, period. He knows more than I ever will about any of this. I do not have any stake in this and only put my two cents in because your attitude irked me. I don't even like Rich (just kidding).
2) I somehow got the idea that Flexwatt was manufactured in Canada. Not sure how I came up with that. I had my concerns about your product but Rich explained how I could use it and keep my snakes relatively safe so I bought some. Rich never told me that Flexwatt was made in Asia but I would have felt better about it over being made in Canada. No offense Canadians.
3) Rich never refused to tell me where his tape is made. He refused to tell YOU, his competition. Again, smart guy.
4) I agree that Rich should state the facts about a product. For years Rich told his customers that Flexwatt could be hazardous and could cause damage to our equipment and death to our reptiles. He explained that Flexwatt could even harm us if not used properly. But he also told us how to avoid these horrible situations and put our safety and the safety of our pets first.
5) Please don't be concerned that anyone will mistake THG for Flexwatt. You can see the difference when you look at it and when you feel it.
Hopefully I made my points clearly. No need to respond.
