This is a very touchy subject of which I am willing to debate at any time (and have already done so) but really not the question here. Please people lets not get off subject and open a moderated discussion on what Andy is discussing here.

I also don't see the issue with AndyMark products according to the rules. They are available to all teams at a set price so would be classed as OTS.
