My opinion is not for sale either. What has happened to me personally is all i can really write about.

Long ago when i first started modifying and making breech plugs, i was offered free 'stuff'. I refused these free items on principle. Then i was commissioned to do work for the same company that offered 'free' stuff. I did the work, and received payment, and things were good.

Later i received more work from said company, and the work was completed. When payment arrived it was far far far more than was agreed upon i.e. i was sent what amounted to 'free stuff'. In spite of my willingness to be 100% impartial, i find that i feel compelled not to write anything negative about the product(s) sold by this company. It is not something that i wished for, but it is there, whether i like it or not.

Getting something for free may seem a good thing, but it can affect how one evaluates products from that company from then on. This is what happened to me, and i did not want it, or ask for it, but it is there, it is there.

Laugh at my dilemma if you choose. Doubt my dilemma if you wish. I know what is in my heart and mind. Receiving free merchandise has affected me, and it cannot be undone.
