     Incorrect. I have 2 websites that are doing quite well in all the search   
   engines that count. Please quit your libel regarding my SEO skills.

     Actually, DAWN stats show based on ER visits DXM use has been flat for a   
   decade.

     This brand info can as easily be got be reading the label on the package.   
   As for "how to" information, William White's last version of the DXM FAQ was   
   on the Internet before I was. Old news.   
      
   > RFG hides behind freedom of speech, 1st amendment

      Hardly. If you hadn't noticed, the Internet is an international medium. I   
   can trivially put up on the Internet anything I want on servers throughout   
   the world. I know the right people in various nations who would happily host   
   my sites for free. Some have even offered to do so. And, please learn the   
   difference between "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press". On the   
   Internet, only the latter is relevant, as I am a publisher.

     This is like arguing that if someone publishes about gun safety, and   
   people ignore this advice and end up dead, the person who wrote how to use   
   guns safely is responsible for those who don't.

     Or, warn people DXM is a psychedelic like LSD, and take appropriate   
   precautions.

     Like Erowid does?

     So you mean I need to get rid of that link to Erowid, which also has the   
   same information? If those who run Erowid ask me to, I will. Otherwise, I'll   
   just ignore you.

      Bullshit. I have always acknowledged the dangers of DXM. As for lawsuits,   
   I could not care less.

      Read what I wrote above. I could not care less about US law. My sites   
   could be hosted anywhere on the planet. I have even given the passwords to   
   my domains to another I fully trust to control them if I am unable.

      Because you are a lame troll.
