Malcolm,

From where I sit that a pretty offensive statement. But then, people who to
like to use broad brush statements usually have a limited view of the

I know Greg who designed and manufactures the SmoothStepper. You couldn't be
further from the truth. I correspond with him a lot and he couldn't be more
honest.
