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
situation. In fact
I'm surprised the moderator let your comment through.

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.
