In today's fastpaced life, you certainly need some time to relax. And what better way to relax than spending a couple of minutes meditating and discovering your innerself!

In order to get complete guidance and discovering this fascitanting world of Meditation, do visit us at:

I know one shouldn't feed/encourage the trolls, but I mean really, posting this sort of message on SFN of all places? The spelling mistakes and the fact that the advert has been placed in two forums with different pretexts suggests that carpetica is at least a real person and not a cut-and-paste-bot. (Mind you, I get plenty of email about viiagggra and cyaaalis, so spelling mistakes dont necesarily imply authenticity ).

Of course, I could be wrong, and maybe we will hear from carpetica again. I'm not suggesting that the idea of meditation itself is a bad thing, mind you, my innerself! is telling me the CD's might be a bit of bollocks... However did the Richies and Moneys in India get by "Since ages" before the CD player?

John's just this guy, you know.

Spammers misspell words like that so that their spam will get passed filters.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Yup, I know, I was being sarcastic.

Unfortunately, way too much of my time is spent dealing with that sort of rubbish. What surprises me is that they must get a few "bites" in order for the whole spammy enterprise to be even remotely worthwhile. How desperate would you have to be to order some mystery replacement for a drug from on online franchise so dodgy that they deliberately misspell their product name in order that you can read their advertising material?

Imagine, some guy breaks into your house, wakes you up in the middle of the night and starts going on about vacoom kleaners. "Right", you say "seeing as you managed to circumvent my home security, out of my new found respect for your sales method, I'll take two of your most expensive models". I think not.

Fortunately, my primary spam filter is a rather advanced neural network, with millions of years worth of R&D.
