Personally, I thought that was really funny on FE's part and the guy from Twine kinda deserved it. I mean he was kind of biting the hand that feeds wasn't he ? And it kinda makes me laugh that people keep posting about how they're worried that Hefty might lose business and all that nonsense. The label's run by John Hughes's son, remember ? And actually I need to check out that 12" cuz I've heard good things about it (from someone at FE, nonetheless).
