Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 I totally applaud your efforts. I make it a point to let people know I am not owned by any company and that although I sell stuff it is all mine and that I do not sell to my students. I hate taking a class etc.. and someone is trying to pitch you a product. I also do not consider people who sell MLM stuff herbalist. I am not trying to offend.
