I have heard rumors that Pierce Chemical Co think that the people who read
bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts are so stupid that they think they can pass off
an ad as a legitimate post.

Anyways, a friend of a friend of my cousin's gas station attendant's
proctologist has tried the stuff and says its crap.  The rumor must not be
true.
