<OT> John, the most significant obstacle IMO is the inevitability of alienating their distributors and retailers. In effect, they would be competing with their own customers. Maybe there are ways around this, such as buying out a direct seller (MUEI or GTW) and letting it operate more or less as a separate division, but that may be too transparent.
