Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

I was being rather tongue-in-cheek, but wrong? SWFA is already engaged in gaming social media via this campaign, and we're already engaged in gaming their effort by recruiting people who may have no interest in their products, or even more generally shooting, to further our own personal interest. They get artificially inflated online interest, we get a discount. Along the way, more people will have heard of them that may have been under a rock or would not have considered anything other than their pet brand. A few will make a purchase they otherwise would not have (myself included - they just won or delayed a sale for the vortex 1-6, and potentially bushnell). In that, they see value and so a deal has been struck.
That being said, I think it would not be wise to engage in an activity which would endanger the goodwill of SWFA and/or future opportunities at such a promotion or at a minimum artificially place the entry barrier so high as to be unattainable.
