Sorry Muerta, I'll take your word for it and not give the URL a hit.
If their count stays near zero the spammers might leave us alone.

I'm just amazed when spammers come on here and say, "look at me", and their
prices are so ridculously out of line, that it "makes bourbon come through
my nose".
Once you get over $20 a hit for cialis, I gotta sit back and wonder who the
hell is giving their money away.

Fear and ignorance is propagated by big pharma directly, and through our
government on their behalf. Not too long ago we heard people from Homeland
Security telling everyone that reimporting drugs from Canada was a serious
risk. Legislators took up that cause and hit all the talk shows explaining
why it had to be illegal to import drugs, even the ones made in the USA and
exported to Canada or Mexico. There are many people who have a lingering
doubt about the safety of buying medications from overseas sources. There
is also a general distrust of the Internet by many people who see it as a
black hole, unregulated, mysterious, and as the newest tool for criminals.
The following articles shows just how far drug makers will go to stir-up
fear:

Fiction Genre Fits Big Pharma

Business, like politics, sometimes makes strange bedfellows. But more often
than not, the couples it brings together are perfectly matched.
That seemed to be the case when the Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, hooked up with Michael Viner.
Drug companies aren't known for their devotion to the Platonic ideal of
truth. Just look at their TV ad campaign on behalf of the self-serving
prescription discount plan they've placed on next month's ballot
(Proposition 78), which they represent as a selfless contribution to the
public weal.
Viner is an old hand at tabloid book publishing. His early venture, Los
Angeles-based Dove Entertainment, became the go-to place for tell-all books
related to O.J. Simpson, Heidi Fleiss and other L.A. notoriosi. In 1996, he
and his wife, the actress Deborah Raffin, founded New Millennium
Entertainment, which published such works as "Burning Down My Master's
House," a memoir by the disgraced New York Times reporter Jayson Blair.
(Raffin filed for divorce last year.)
Viner (pronounced "VEE-ner") was also known for his frequent trips to the
courthouse. Of the three authors of a 1996 Dove book about Fleiss' call
girls, two sued him for sexual harassment (one claim was dismissed and the
other settled in Viner's favor). The third claimed she had been stiffed on
royalties, and won a jury award.
In 2003, Viner had a falling-out with Otto Penzler, a book editor who was
working on a mystery anthology series for New Millennium. After a jury
awarded Penzler $2.8 million in the ensuing litigation, New Millennium
landed in Bankruptcy Court to be liquidated. According to lawyers familiar
with the case, there is so little of the company to be liquidated that no
unsecured creditor, Penzler included, will see a dime.
Viner has now started a third company, Phoenix Books. That's where PhRMA
comes in.
Back in April, a lawyer named Mark Barondess approached Viner with a
proposal. Barondess is a consultant to PhRMA and an author whose self-help
divorce book, "What Were You Thinking??," was recently published by Phoenix.
According to the proposal, PhRMA would pay Phoenix a six-figure sum for the
marketing and production of a written-to-order fictional thriller. The
plotline was what Hollywood would term high-concept — a group of shadowy
terrorists conspires to murder thousands of Americans by poisoning the
medicine they're importing from Canada to beat U.S. drug prices. (Think
"True Lies" meets the Physicians Desk Reference.)
If this scenario sounds familiar, it's because PhRMA has tried to scare
state legislatures and Congress out of giving Americans access to cheap
Canadian drugs by warning that terrorists might poison the imports.
Viner duly hired an author, Julie Chrystyn, who in turn enlisted a friend,
Kenin Spivak, to help with the writing. Spivak, 48, has an interesting
resume: Over the years he has worked at Merrill Lynch, held top executive
positions at MGM/UA and Premiere Radio Networks and invested with Michael
Milken. Since 1998 he has been chairman and chief executive of Los
Angeles-based Telemac Corp., which licenses billing and accounting programs
to wireless network operators.
The authors labored on a tight 45-day deadline to produce the book, titled
"The Karasik Conspiracy." Spivak says that a PhRMA marketing executive
sedulously monitored the work by phone, e-mail and in person, often ordering
changes in plot, characterization and tone.
"She was intimately involved," says Spivak, who declined to identify the
executive but made it clear that he regarded her input as lowbrow. She
demanded that the terrorists be militant Muslims but that their motivation
be greed, not politics. She insisted on lots of "frilly female stuff,"
Spivak says, "Harlequin Romance stuff" — but also that the book incorporate
long polemical passages drawn from transcripts of congressional hearings.
Spivak says he acceded to many of these demands because "PhRMA was the
client." He adds that he had no doubt that the project was being followed by
higher-ups at the lobbying group.
And then it all came apart. In July, Spivak says, he and Chrystyn were
informed that PhRMA didn't like the book and was pulling out. He says the
group offered them $100,000 if they would agree never to speak ill of PhRMA
or the drug industry for the rest of their lives. They refused.
PhRMA's management says it discovered the project belatedly and, appalled,
pulled the plug. Ken Johnson, the group's senior vice president for
communications, has called the project "a screwball idea" and "Looney Tunes"
and tagged the marketing executive as a "renegade."
She was a "lower-level employee who acted without authority," he told me. He
acknowledges that she had some "budgetary authority," but suggests that she
abused it in this instance. He says that PhRMA is evaluating Barondess'
consultancy contract and is "presently reviewing disciplinary options" for
the hapless marketing exec.
He also indicates that he and his boss, former Rep. W.J. "Billy" Tauzin, who
became PhRMA's president in January, know that the group has less than a
sterling reputation. (The phrase he used is "quite a lot of baggage.") One
of Tauzin's goals, he says, is "to turn the image around," implying that the
book project didn't help.
"The Karasik Conspiracy," meanwhile, is set to come out in December. Spivak
says there will be a nonfiction preface and afterword describing its
difficult gestation. The villains of the plot have undergone yet another
transformation. They're now a rainbow coalition of Bosnians, Eastern
Europeans and Americans, including some stereotypical representatives of an
American corporation: to wit, a pharmaceutical company.

Billy's name surfaces once more.
I have been a ham radio operator for many years, and when Billy had nobody
else to tick-bite, he jumped into the selling off of radio frequency space,
and why people should not have access to radio equipment that recieve broad
expanses of radio spectrum, mainly "scanners".
Billy was single-handedly resposible for the limited ability scanners, i.e.
"blocked", that are available tody.
O.T,, I know, but I'm just in awe of Billy Tauzin's ability to chase
legislation that that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and benefits
absolutely no one.

I suspect that HE benefits. That seems to be the theme in government these
days. Even I am stunned at the web of deception and fraud surrounding the
doings of Jack Abramoff that served only to enrich himself and keep a
handful of people in office.
