SPAM ALERT

     Ben:
     
     THE big question is...are you a distributor, or have ANY interest in 
     selling this stuff. If not, then maybe we can give you a little slack.
     
     FWIW, I think Robert shouldn't be in the business of suggesting mail 
     bombs...not a nice thing to do, even to spammers (a simple 
     un-subs*ribe would do the trick)
     
     TTYL!

Hi Robert,
     
I'm sorry you felt that way but this product 
receives an award from MINDEX/INNOTEX'97 in 
Malaysia.
     
FYI...MINDEX/INNOTEX is one of the main events 
for the Science and Technology Month. MINDEX is 
an exhibition of inventions and designs whereas 
INNOTEX features the latest innovations, 
technologies and R&D findings. This exhibition is 
jointly organised by the Malaysian Invention and 
Design Society (MINDS) and the Malaysian 
Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT).

Robert..I understand what you're saying and 
"Snake oil" is what I had in mind at first.
The only difference here is that it has received 
an award from MINDEX/INNOTEX and this gave me a 
1 percent the benefit of the doubt for me to
try it out. And the rest is as what I've 
related in my earlier mail.
     
How many of such product..the so called 
snake-oil have got an award from some science 
body? I don't know of any product. Maybe there 
are but this palm-oil based fuel additive is 
one of those who has an award.
     
Sorry if I've offended you but I thought sharing 
this news in DIY would not be a problem since 
DIY is such an innovative forum.
     
     
Cheers
