As I mentioned in my post, I just grabbed one URL to illustrate the product. This is not the actual product I used, as far as I know. There are numerous suppliers, none of which I know anything about. I do know that the ones I used over the weekend proved to be everything described in the product ad, short-term. As for long-term viability, we'll just have to see, like everything else. In the meantime I can file it with the long list of things that are working perfectly well that the Vanagon list said would not be.
