LATE BREAKING NEWS: "Tom Harais" <tjhemh@domain.elided> wins the 40 million
dollar lottery and says:

Tom,

If the stuff (any countless other products like it) really work... *great*!
The problem is that time and time again, when anyone like Consumer Reports
or 60 Minutes comes strolling along, the company in question will refuse to
(or can't) divulge any hard data and certified test results to back up
their claims.  They hide behind the veil of "protecting trade secrets and
proprietary information" which is BS.  Show me the certified dyno test data
from a respectable independent facility and I'll buy the stuff!  Until
then, I'm not spending a thin dime on any of the crap.

But if someone gets enjoyment from spending their money on magic potions,
by all means... support the economy and help create wealth.  I'll put mine
in my 401(k)... or maybe pizza and beer.
