Uh, yes. But, no. They are the ones most aggressively infringing on established vendors's territory, and SRP is taking good care of their own. Which is fine by me. As I said, I think Gold Dollars are an abomination. They are

much higher) likelihood of unethical working environments - yet no warning in the FAQ.
