Steve or Terry?
did this come to you from the list, or was it spam, I would like to
think that this is good stuff and try it but am having trouble tracing
where the original post came from, anyone on the list? I talked to the
folks, they are in TN, the web site is in Canada. I am wondering if they
are avoiding some interstate trade issue or something. Seems that they
want you to buy the stuff in case quantities ($85). Not a bad deal is it
is real. Anyone know anymore. Most things too good to be true, are.
Thanks,
