So you're saying that might possibly be an advertisement? Steve in Baltrimore County.

What really peeves me is that people who spam on public forums are fully aware of the policies of the sites they 'steal' their free advertising from. And theft it is, because they're too cheap to buy bandwidth. You want to buy something from an entity like that?

They absolutely know that a bazillion people will see it before it gets wiped off by a site administrator. There is an old quote I remember and it said it's a lot easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

I can out do the spammer.
When I was a little kid in first grade,
we took some bean seeds (not the magic kind) and some cotton
and placed the cotton in the bottom of a styrofoam cup.
Then put the seeds on top of the cotton and water it.
After a few days the seeds sprouted. Eventually the plants
got big enough we had to transfer them to a big glass jar.
We got to watch the plants grow up and roots grow down.
Then it got too big for the jar and we had to transplant it
to actual dirt. It grew for quite a while like that.
I thought it was a lot of fun watching the little plants grow up.
And the costs was pretty much nothing. So why buy a kit.

When we got older we were introduced to sweet potatoes.
Take a sweet potato and put a tooth pick in each side just off center.
Then put the potato in a mason jar with the toothpicks supporting
the potato so that the shorter end sticks out of the jar.
Fill the jar with water. Fill it up as it needs it and watch it grow.
We used to grow them to over 8 feet. Started off with the jar
in a window sill and as the vine got longer we had to raise the jar.
The vines would hang down to the floor. And the potatoes drank
water like crazy. It was another really neat project for kids.

So don't send money to spammers. I know what NOT to buy.
If the product was that good they wouldn't need to spam forums to sell it.

I prefer this. It's fun, free and NOT spam!

WTF?! Why/how did my e-mail addy show up in that last post? I tinkered around with my account settings. Let's hope that fixes it. #$!!, I wish we had the option to delete our own posts. This sux.
