    I think you need practice with your spamming. You should have said
    something like "I'm thinking about getting one of these, what do you
    think?".

    But I think the bike alarm may have merit. I dont' think a guy wants to
    be riding down teh road on a bike making some loud alarm noise. My
    guess is he might stop his theft attempt teh minute the alarm went off
    if he were in a high people-traffic area like the front of a grocery
    store or other business.

    Giving advise on spamming tactics? As if they don't do it often enough. 🙂

  5. You had to buy one? I would have thought you could get one for free seeing
    as you own the company.

    You omitted the important one, Mike.

    I don't know about that last one. I don't mind reading about cute
    products as long as they're bike related. My father once told me that
    he never sends salesman away without listening a bit since you never
    know what you might find out.

    But at least be honest and don't give that "Hey, I just found this".

  9. I am always amazed when someone goes to all of the trouble of building
    a web site for their product, and then fails to do a simple spelling
    check.

    "deterrant"

    It does tend to make one think that the product might also be just a
    bit defective.
