Just in case someone wants to read it, here is my email to Walmart:
I am an avid shopper of Walmart because I feel like I am getting a bargain most of the time. This is also why I am an avid reader of many online shopping forums. What I don't understand or accept is that fact that a Huge corporation like yourself, who promote themselves as a place to shop and save money, wants to threaten these online forums because they may post ads that someone within your company is releasing to the public. First of all the people that read these ads are going to camp out in front of your stores to buy your products not some other company and secondly if you want to keep your ads a secret for some reason then work on your corporate communications. You are doing nothing more than making some of your dedicated shoppers upset and from what I have seen in the news you just don't need more people upset with walmart and giving them a bad name. If anything I would think the way to go would be to embrace this online community of bargain shoppers and make them part of your fmaily of supporters. You want them to buy your products, you know you are going to be putting the products on sale why not make everyone happy.
Thanks,
Larry
