Steve: favewavs.com ...I see this name Andrew Bryant on more than one site, as well. I searched amazon.com for his name and his books, "The Baldness Cure" and "Your Hair Loss Explained"... found: "The Baldness Cure : The Unique Regrowth Programme That Really Works" by Andy Bryant ...nothing else. I guess he's now an expert on erections too, because he says I can e-mail him about it. (I'll pass, I'm fine.) These "testimonials" cracked me up. webforce10.net Keep up the good work.

Pluvia, Just wondering what the headline on the the Silicon Investor home page "PLUVIA vs WESTERGAARD" means? I went to Westergaard Online site and found no reference to any of the companies (CTRN, ECTS, IVHD, etc) that you mention in your Scam alert. Thanks in advance. ztide
