Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey Marie. Yes, a warning would be good. But she's the type that thinks people should be researching more than any one site--which is good (and everyone should anyway), except unless you know her and know that's how she feels, it doesn't do the average person much good. But then--who is average in this group? :-) Samala, Renee ---- I think that she should remove it from her website though if she feels that strongly that you shouldn't use it unless you know about how to use it. Or at least put a warning on the site about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
