more people than you’d think are not sold on filters yet
The OP is sold on filters. He just doesn’t want to pay for one.
This is the whole point of TAG
No, their point is to encourage and help facilitate installing filters. Their mission is not to pay for them.
As I said, I would have no problem if filters were subsidized/paid for, but the reality is there isn’t currently funding for it, and it’s unfair to blame any organization for that, and nobody should use that yo justify using an unfiltered device.
