Mike, it was NOT hearsay. It was MY own letters that did not receive a
reply. When I give free advertising to a company by mentioning them in my
books, with their complete address, and I cannot get the decency of a
reply, I get suspicious very quickly. FYI, I have lost thousands of dollars
in recent years because of poor materials or companies going out of
business.
Caveat emptor.
