I have to agree with Marvin's comments. I have been too busy to read all of
the recent P3D digests, so missed many of the comments but did manage to see
the message that was posted and realized that the subject was an old one.
The product being described has been around for awhile (whether as his or
someone elses product is unknown) and many here have heard about it before
and commented on it voicing the same opinions voiced when he posted his
information directly to this group. So which is unfriendly, trying to
mislead persons for purposes of profit making or calling their bluff and
revealing it to be a scam? If his approach had been humorous and up front
with the fact that it wasn't real 3D, it might have had a completely
different reception. Since he was trying to be serious with the deception,
it's no surprise that it didn't get a pleased reception. If he did a bit of
reading in past digests he might have found out about the general knowledge
level existing on this group as well as comments about his own product from
months ago (if it's the same product), and made a better approach. If he has
genuine interest in real 3D he could find many welcome discussions here on P3D.
