In this case I personally do not think Charles would be wasting his time, since he did state that he actually does business with Saabnet's sponsors. Boycotting the sponsors (i.e. speaking with his money), is *exactly* what Charles was suggesting. He was simply also willing to extend the sponsors the courtesy of letting them know why. I believe this is a more practical, and much more effective approach than waiting for the sponsors to someday notice they lost Charles as a customer and never understand why. This also gives them the opportunity to fix it.
