Thanks for the link. I like seeing nice jersey designs.
So what if you sucked me in. I'm not buying one anyway. Neither would have most of the complainers bought one so there's no harm done. Several regular posters tout their web sites without being derided as spammers.
The regular posters are regular guys and behave in regular ways - for the most part! 😉 They don't resort to schizophrenic third person chicanery. It might seem like a fine difference to some, but it's not.
The odd thing is the guy actually does have some nice stuff. For the life of me I can't figure out why he'd feel it was necessary to blow smoke up people's asses to sell it.
Over the years I've met some number of salesmen who just do stupid [censored] like that. They'll have a perfectly legitimate, if humble company with decent products and some reasonable hope of expansion - then exaggerate to the point of discrediting what they've really got. Or this bogus testimonial / sock puppet thing - I don't get it. Why lie when the truth is available and perfectly suitable to your intentions.

Oh well.
There's a current thread in the construction groups where a manufacturer makes a totally outrageous claim - that their plastic product that allows grass to be driven on (think honeycomb) can support 97,000 pounds per square foot, or 1.2 fully loaded semi- tractor trailers on every square foot. I find such claims insulting.

That is not an unreasonable value for intrusive igneous rock.
