'we' are, indeed, but until that day comes you are happy and eager to promote your unproven and untested products _ at no cost to you _ to a captive audience _ by preying on our shared illness and our shared symptoms >You may want to note that the greatest breakthrough in medical >history came from doctors recreational use of anesthetics, i may or i may not want to 'note' this concept: 'recreational use of anesthetics'???!!! is _that_ what gave you the 'shakes'? holey moley! no thanks! my brain chemistry, or what's left of it, is far too important to me >and not be so closed minded and suspicious. ah but here _you_ are very wrong i do not form conclusions quickly or easily either positive or negative i am not closed minded but i am not naive either if you were recommending candy to children over the internet i would be just as circumspect and i'm sure no-one would accuse me of being 'suspicious' so tell me, in ten words or less, what is your real purpose in joining this 1600 strong cyber-family? one of many cautious cyber-siblings janet ps if your methods weren't so sad, this would be hysterically funny trying to sell aroma therapy to parkies!!!! hah!!! pps my web-site has an article that may be of interest: 'being hustled on the net' janet paterson - 51/41/37 - almonte/ontario/canada http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/ [log in to unmask]
