Very Good! Entertaining, but thought provoking. I don't really think there is a conspiracy. I think there are millions of readers who would probably never do the gear, but enjoy toying around with the idea. Bill Phillips and fellow pluggers sort of hype up stories which fulfills that living vicariously population. By revealing a source which lets John Doe nerd imagine himself just maybe using to get his endomorphic pastry eating self in shape, allow the magazine to sell. I don't think Bill Phillips is in cahoots with the DEA. Its just that magazine sales mean more to him than protecting our sources. After all, the guru can probably make the shit, and T&A congregate towards $ quicker than they do a 500lb bench. Big business, rather than government control is in action here!!!! As a group, what we need to do is learn how to make the gear. Then we would be the conspiracy. Bill Phillips and co. and mr. DEA man with sever attitude behind his computer will have to wonder whose tubs are filled to the
rim!
