Everyone, please refrain from personal attacks, sarcasm, biased policing, etc. There is room here to both present one's opinions, even if one stands to profit, and to challenge another's, without resorting to name-calling and similar tactics. I am personally offended by the way these challenges are being presented and also to their presumption to be protecting the rest of us. I know they don't speak for me nor do I feel I need outside protection. I have no problems with challenging another, or even being challenged myself. I have in fact been a participant from both sides before, not on this issue specifically, but I have had on other lists people who have disagreed with me in a manner that questioned my intelligence, and even my right to hold my own opinion. I welcome disagreement, for it serves to make us all rethink our own conclusions, however, the way in which it is presented is critical. I do have problems with the way this is all being handled. A simple solution could be to research the info as presented, and if something is found, such as this web site mentioned where these products are sold, then post the info found (such as the web address), but please refrain from making personal judgements and attacks. The rest of us can take this info which was found and do with it what we will or won't. I appreciate the effort that went into the "background check", but I can determine the value of any info found myself. If anyone feels the need to get sarcastic, personal, and rude, please keep it private between the two parties and don't presume to speak for us all. Sorry if I offend, but hey, I'm just trying to express my feelings on this recent behavior and how it has offended me, without getting into personal attacks. I respect everyone's opinions as well as their motives, but I'll judge the facts for myself. Thank you. Wendy Tebay
