Some of you must have missed the superbowl ads where people and frogs were getting frozen to beverage cans, and movie actors moved the grand canyon with a horse. Marketing is a fact of life. Seems to me the irresponsibile thing too many of our society do is put too much stock in the marketeers. I usually select products on their merits, not on the marketing. Maybe you do too. But the marekting works, and companies have to use it to stay profitable. So, what do you think of their product? Dave
