Realistically, everyone has a choice regarding how they do business and with whom they do business.
If people find it more beneficial to work with TPD, then they should do so. If people find it more beneficial working with others instead, then they should. No one is forcing anyone to do, or to not do, business. And certainly TPD can choose how he wishes to run his business anyway he sees fit, as can anyone else.
It's all about choices, and we're all free to make the ones that benefit us the most.
That said, and I am fairly certain I've said it earlier... there's enough pie around for everyone. In the end, you have to do what you feel is best for YOUR business, both long and short term.
Have a great weekend.
