Yes, we actually heard about this before these threads came up, and knew of course that it would show up here on TC at some point since we are all a very aware and interactive community. As for the manufacturer and/or salesgroup(person?) that worked on this Whalers account, they most likely thought they would be able to "fly under the TC radar" and get away with some quick sales (which they have) without XXXXXXX finding out. We have not had 100% cooperation in getting the low-down on the manufacturer/maker/salesgroup(person) that spearheaded this promotion, so whether or not Whalers was directly involved in the duplication of the mugs is yet to be seen....although I have my own personal opinion about that; which that in itself is hard for me to explain and for others to understand since XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX but am also a fellow TC'er like all of you.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks to all of you that have (and will) provide info that you come across.
