RE: superchips ??? (need another fix man!)

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Michael-
  The ads ALWAYS sound nice. That doesn't mean they're truthful, even though
we want them to be...   Item 2: I've seen far too many instances where
trying to get your money back on "30-day money back" stuff takes far too
long and is far too much hassle.  They count on just wearing you down so
you'll give up.  Really.  Item 3: good question; who does want to be a
guinea pig?  Tell you what, I'LL be the g-pig if I can use YOUR credit
card...?!  :)
