Yes, but all of them are more or less anonymous and all of them are 
strangers.  The boards are also filled with people that seem to have lots of 
stuff to sell which leads me to the conclusion that the goods have 'fallen 
off the back of a truck' or are old stock from a retailer - and thereby 
avoiding any warranty hassles. Perhaps that's just my cynicism.  Once bitten 
twice shy.

I don't think this is re-inventing the wheel.  I think this is adding value 
to the mailing list/PLUG. I'm more inclined to trust a plugger - as foolish 
as that may actually be =).

The reason ESP, for example, is not considered a viable topic in contemoprary
psychology is simply that its investigation has not proven fruitful...After
more than 70 years of study, there still does not exist one example of an ESP
phenomenon that is replicable under controlled conditions.  This simple but
basic scientific criterion has not been met despite dozens of studies 
conducted
over many decades...It is for this reason alone that the topic is now of 
little
interest to psychology...In short, there is no demonstrated phenomenon that
needs explanation.
