Welcome to the real world. Manufacturers claim all kinds of outlandish things, and most of these things cannot ever be proven to work. I've tried whitening my teeth following the manufacturer's claims. Guess what -- didn't work for me. I once injured my lower back and then naively fell for the advertised product that was supposed to heal me in a cinch. Again, didn't make any difference, as I've continued being in constant pain, until nature took its course and healed all by itself. That was a complete waste of money (and the joke definitely is on me). So you see, we live in the age of a constant sales pitch, people over-promise all kinds of things. If you're gullible, next thing you'll do is buy an iPhone because you fell for the sales pitch that somehow your life will instantly get better once you stuck that shitty piece of plastic in your pocket. At the end of the day, we live in a snake oil salesmen country, get used to it, and please stop complaining. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93111 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
