St Léger developers - Don't buy Rockfax etc topos

The equipping team of St Léger etc, has put up signs where they say that they get money for euipment when you buy the local topo for Ventoux. "That is why we thank you for buying it. Please do not use the others, Edition Rockfax in particular (inegral topo of our topo), Rockpunkt Mistral, Edisud... who benefit from our work with purely menrcantile purposes, and no payment in return for the maintenance or development of the sites." What do you think? The 8a thinking is that we see our Left-Right Topos as a handy compliment once you have bought a real topo. We also recommend to buy topos which support local maintenance and development. We do beliеve that the best way for crags to get popular, which will increase the sales of the local topos, is to update the 8a database, so that the info will be spread world wide.
