Message	Its a problem in the aerospace world (where the "AN" market is largest), because you can't buy a russell or whoever AN part, unless it's stamped specifically as meeting the requirements of AN specifications. And EBAY (and AMS) are the key places to buy black market copies of parts (of all kinds, not just car or aerospace...electronics, etc...)
