    I'm not in Canada, but. . .

    Yeah, I checked out the firmoo link and rolled my eyes when it loaded.

    World's Fastest Growing Online Eyeglass Store to Buy Eyeglasses, Prescription Glasses, RX Sunglasses & Sports Eyewear Frames

    Not surprised. :P
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    Interesting that the company business address is in N.Y. USA but forum says Calgary? Perhaps wishful thinking.

    I'm not from Canada either, but your website is pretty complex. I like the original feature, trying eyeglasses on your own face.

    This is actually a fact, it is in New York. However Firmoo lives in Calgary and is now a Canadian.

    Everything is about legitimacy and Face for these dudes.:angry: I also got off their list and suggest you all do the same.

    Couldn't help but notice that Wallyworld locations were not on the "list"!

    Couldn't agree with you more, Chris.

    It is nice to know , BTW that Firmoo will be subject to the laws of Canada, the treaties with trading countries, and the Province of Alberta legal establishment. Anything stated, poached, listed, inferred, will be subject to those laws. I wonder how many Canadian ECPs know that they are on a list?

    Removed mine too. Thanks. Looks like they just copy and paste yellow pages.

    I am not even so sure if it is such a good idea to have your name removed from the list. In the old days that would have been the case.
    However having your business name published on the web, by whoever, can be an advantage. The more a name comes up the more the web crawlers will see it, and they have no sentiment for politics nor love.

    It's ok for your name, as a chemical company, to be listed wherever, Chris. Personally, and professionally, I would prefer that my firm not be listed on a bathroom wall, next to a scrawl that says "for good chemicals and a good time--- call optochemicals 333-3333.

    Exposure is OK, however, I'd rather be associated with something that I felt I could stand behind.
