- Well, if you really want my opinion, I think this is a total crock of
- shit, and if you actually plan to make money by defrauding people in this
- manner, you will end up poorer for it. This type of mystical nonsense has
- no place anywhere. On the other hand, you should have known that.
- Why do you need to post this to ask opinions? Could you not have
- simply asked your wife?

- This confirms what I thought when I first saw this - you are a phoney.
-
- You did not post this to get honest opinions, you posted it to get
- business. This is an ad, not a request to comment on an ad. While I
- am not as opposed to advertising on the internet as many people are,
- and I think readers should be allowed to engage in commerce or trade,
- I believe they should have honest products and services to exchange.
- You do not create any values with this crap, you merely seek to steal
- from your would be customers.
