Good evening gr8mpg

I wanted to let you know that I am the one who deleted your original post. I happened upon it a couple of minutes after you posted it.

It had all the appearance of a drive by spam. First time poster, and the first post contains a url to a product.

I also took a look at the book, before deleting the post, and found it to be a veritable yellow pages of questionable sleeping solutions. Among others is the $120(plus S&H) snoring solution chin band

The author gets paid for you to click on the links. He does acknowledge that at the beginning of the book.

The book also states it doesn't cover sleep apnea because it's a serious ailment that should be covered with a medical professional.

I'm sure you have heard the old adage If your posting looked like a duck, sounds like a duck, it's probably a duck. Nothing against you, not feeling particularly capricious at the time. Just looked like spam to me.

I also saw your second posting. Since you did come back and posted again, I didn't delete that one. Unfortunately someone else seems to have come to the same conclusion. I also don't know who else but an administrator would have the rights to delete any profile.

Hi everyone: I sincerely apologize for the post. I had posted again only after i had read a few pages and seemed to have some good info in it. I just didn't know. I promise I won"t post again for any reason.Thanks for the replies.

Some of the most artfully crafted spam is so convincing, people innocently repost it.
Not your fault you tasted the Kool Aid, or even that you offered it to others.
We work together to correct the mistakes.

I hope you don't realty mean that,
This is a community of people, and we can discuss everything. That is how we all learn.
I just wish Bill had posted his information about the book before I purchased it.
Fortunately I am a prime member and the cost was $0.00

No reason to take that position.
