First, I don't think of LLLI as a "competitor in a retail field" in the
traditional sense. Secondly, it's not a matter of "bowing out" as it is
their corporate policy. It's my understanding that LLLI cannot be affiliated
in any way with organizations which are affiliated with ABM manufacturers.
I don't think the reason behind their removal of the banner ad was to make a
point, but simply to adhere with their corporate policy on ABM advertising.
The fact that their swift action *did* make a loud point is just icing on
the cake, IMO.
