Ken and all,
Fear of the unknown doesn't justify bad behavior.
When I joined the group, I was hoping to find people that had faced the same problems I did.
I had prepared articles for Wikipedia that don't meet the 'notability' requirement. These describe the physical requirements of the mandrel and the process. An 'anti-patent' declaration, if you will. Except for Yahoo glitches, I would have posted them in the files section. But, before that happened, I was attacked.
I was planning on offering several kits for the cost of shipping to anyone having an immediate need, proven writing skill and willingness to post a report of their experience. I no longer see this as beneficial.
The 'discussion' here was almost totally deconstructive. You may all be fine persons apart from this group. If so, this is a toxic environment and you should reflect on what this has done to you.
Putting someone or something down doesn't make a better person, but it usually is revealing. I'm sure there are good people here, wading through the crap to benefit from whatever good exchange of information can be found. Perhaps some find this entertaining.
I have other things to do. If anyone needs to contact me, please use the Inquiry link on the web page.

Put yourself in our place - "IF" you didn't have a clue what the process is, nor how it works, would you be ready to send your money to someone you didn't know?
