That is a very odd piece of writing. Would you please provide a link to its source? Love the 40 seconds thing.

"A company would not make such statements in Press Releases or elsewhere unless they were totally truthful to the best of their abilities." That has to rank right up there as one of the most classic lines. I was ROFL when I read that. These people really subscribe to the "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the public" theory. It's really sad that people fall for nonsense like this over and over again.

I sent the following e-mail to Phil Bailey. I'll let you know if I get a reply... Dear Mr. Bailey, I read with interest your column entitled "The Nasty Truth About Those Magical Additives" in which you summarized that "NONE" of the devices actually work and that all the associated studies have holes "you could drive a Ford Excursion through." I've noticed recently that one such product, "Zero Hi-Tech", is being promoted by a publicly traded company called "Save the World Air, Inc." (OTCBB: ZERO), which currently has a market capitalization in excess of a quarter billion dollars (25M shares out @ $9.06). Have you heard of Save the World Air, Inc. or the Zero Hi-Tech device? I must say that, personally, I think it sounds like just another one of those seemingly endless "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" gadgets so often touted by OTC companies. However, I don't have the expertise to make an informed analysis of their data that supposedly supports their claim of "a revolutionary new invention, that reduces carbon monoxide, hydro carbon's and other toxic fuel emissions to as low as zero and improves fuel economy by up to as much as 42%." (see savetheworldair.com. Therefore, I have attached below an e-mail reply sent by Save the World Air to a shareholder concerned about "seemingly damaging messages" about the company on their Raging Bull Internet message board. In it, STWA states their case for why their tests prove they have been telling the truth about their Zero Hi-Tech device. My question to you is, as an expert in the field, a) what test do you suggest one should ask STWA to perform and document that would prove once and for all if their Zero Hi-Tech device really works, and b) what is the probability such a device, priced at $195, would be attractive to consumers or automakers on a large scale? Thank you in advance. Very truly yours, Jeff Mitchell P.S. The STWA web site is at savetheworldair.com The Silicon Investor message board for STWA is at Subject 33907 The Raging Bull message board for STWA is at ragingbull.altavista.com ===== Dear Gabriel, Save The World Air Inc. (STWA) has received numerous messages from others like you who are equally concerned about some members of Raging Bull who continually post seemingly damaging messages about the company on the Save The World Air Inc. message board. As of today STWA will be investigating into the matter. We will be contacting Raging Bull for their assistance, as we are not allowed to view messages posted on their site. It is a serious offense for any person to post misleading statements in this case ‘detrimental’. Our tests are conducted with the most accuracy possible with the limited funds we have available. At this time there has been two fuel tests performed on the Zero Emission Fuel Saver. The tests were performed using measuring cylinders fixed to the test vehicles body leading down by a clear tube to the carburetor intake valve, the chamber is flooded first and the cylinder refilled to the marker, then the test is started. The vehicles were then run until the fuel from within the cylinder was completely used up and the engine stopped. The readings before and after were noted. In both cases the fuel in the test vehicles lasted around 40 seconds longer with the device fitted than without it. Amount Of Fuel in Cylinder: 25 milliliters Without Device fitted: 60 seconds With Device fitted: 100 seconds Which works out to be a ratio of 3:5. You can work out the percentage from that if you like. Scientific theories have been disproved by inventions where the claim cannot be scientifically obtained other than viewing the test results. An engineer once told me that they were taught to go by the book. If it isn’t in the book it doesn’t exist. If we stuck to that rule the earth would still be flat. We have told the truth, nothing but the truth so help us God. It is also against the law to quote facts where by no written authorization is given by the copywriters to do so. You have permission to quote any portion of this message to use in argument against the persons who have made such statements. A company would not make such statements in Press Releases or elsewhere unless they were totally truthful to the best of their abilities. If this were not the case, the SEC and federal officers would be on the scene. Regards, David Morris
