We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.

Surely there was another company who better deserves their hard-earned money!

Bargain Suppliers of West Allis said its discount-mats.com Web site had to be taken down to address the thousands of e-mails it's received since news of the exchange — in which an employee voiced opposition to the war in Iraq — began circulating on the Internet.

Vice president Sajid Nasir said the employee is being "held accountable." But he said the incendiary and threatening nature of some of the e-mails — and voicemails left at the West Allis home that co-owner Faisal Khetani shares with his parents — have shaken the family.

"It's really getting out of control," said Nasir, who described the messages as "angry and vulgar."

"Our main concern is for the safety of the family. That's more important than the business," he said.

Later news reports indicated that the employee in question had been discharged.




So. It was an errant employee, who has been sacked. What more can the

company do, this could happen to any company!

Also, the people who run the company are receiving threatening e-mails, as

well as messages left on their answering machine. That's bad, and wrong.

Good then. I'm too lazy to pursue something like that. I would've simply carried my money elsewhere. Shows the value of following up.

Thanks Bill.
