Unique Soul--Hah, I do the same thing! Some of those long marketing letters make for good reading, even though I don't usually buy the product(s).

Inchiki Gaijin--I am a freelance writer, and sometimes do reviews. Some of them appear on amazon.com. I panned one of Vitale's books, and it's still there. I'm not sure I buy your conspiracy theory. Most of the reviews that are removed (and not just speaking of Vitale--this is store-wide) are removed for other reasons, such as having written a "review" without bothering to read the material. Not fair to write a review for the book without bothering to read it, but many people with an axe to grind or someone to promote do just that, especially the political books.

I think LSC is doing just fine. Sure you're entitled to your opinion, but I think I'm entitled to my (counter) opinion as well. I truly like Bob Proctor's paraliminal, although I confess that when it comes to voices, I much prefer all Scheele all the time.
