The notion of going direct to their resellers, CompUSA, BestBuy, Apple, Gateway, etc. is a good one. And doing it at the Corporate level is the way to go.
Call the Corp. HQ and ask for the "Buyer/Merchandiser" for Hubs, Routers, whatever the hell your target reseller carries. Maybe you'll talk to the real-live human who buys Belkin's Spamware, and you can express your extreme unlikeliness to purchase the same. Can you spell "Excess Inventory?" I thought you could.
Failing finding a real human, e-mail the "Contact us" address AND the Investor Relations people in Finance. Same message. Same impact. If only a few thousand of us do it, BestBuy, Buy.com, CompUSA, etc., will roast Belkin over a slow fire.
