Fellow LGOV (Stupid Rube) Stockholders: Several of us will be doing a little Christmas bargain shopping tomorrow. Reason? There will be formal information out from the company in the very near future, which should continue to shoot holes in the AINNON methane-filled, advertising balloon. This may also be the beginning of a "TREND". :-) Some time ago, I mentioned that I would be more than pleased to have the "Waterpick showerhead" distribution concession through our growing, "uniquely positioned" company. Relating to this, the water filter kit business for a country the size of China quickly returns multiples of millions of dollars in trade and profit. I have participated in the design and construction of waste treatment facilities, industrial water treatment systems, as well as both typical (chemical/filtration/aeration) and reverse-osmosis water treatment facilities for potable (drinkable) water. Modern facilities are very expensive to build, as they are approached as 20-year designs. Equipment is all top-shelf, and usually constructed of stainless steel or high-density polycarbonate plastics to resist degredation by treatment chemicals (acids/lime/floculants) and chlorine. Chlorine gas forms airborne hydrochloric acid in moist environments. In municipal water distribution systems, it is intended that the water contain 3ppm of chlorine at the endmost points of the system - to maintain sanitation. Pardon the disertation, but there is a point. We live in a sophisticated society, where municipalities, their consultants and water chemistry firms do a real good job of developing, maintaining, and/or protecting our water supply. It is still a very good idea to have final filtration at your home or office, however, since system maintenance and/or disruptions may introduce a little "junk" now and again. Please note: if you have, or install, filters in your home - please abide by the "replacement schedules" - to avoid growing your own problems...! Water quality is a major problem in developing countries. Being in the "final filter kits" business is both good business and good for the customer. It promotes public health. Procter & Gamble grew to it's current conglomerate status based on providing basic products; soap, paper, hygiene products, etc. I as personaly pleased that the management of LGOV is concentrating on "basic" issues; clean fuel, clean water, clear communications, affordable housing, etc. John :-) ps: Interesting isn't it, that the bickering boobs of AINNON get only one post on "their" threads for every 40+ here. Keep yours eyes pealed; so you don't get goo on your shoes!
