RD first of all you directed that question to Slag I think.

If the question was why did Walmart fought it, the answer is because it targets Walmart.

It has done the same small store displacing as any large chain. Best buy, Kmart, Home Depot etc.

I hate the way you can't go to a hardware store and buy hard to get stuff anymore. You have your pick between what Lowes or HD decide to carry and that's it, unless you want to order over the net.

But, C'est la vie
