GOD!! sometimes I just HATE the internet. It is too easy to be misinterpreted. My suggestions were tongue in cheek. I TOTALLY get marketing. I was just commenting on how marketing departments can embarrass their companies.

I get the marketing. Read my entire post

and when Crest starts making claims that you will have 'unbreakable' teeth, they will have crossed the same over-hype barrier that Oracle did. Unbreakable is, in my opinion, Unbelievable and not even within the realms of possibility

MY POINT EXACTLY - read the post - "What humans can build, humans can break."

AGAIN, MY POINT EXACTLY: "The only thing less intelligent than that marketing campaign is the person who falls for it. "

And speaking of intelligence, continuing this discussion is a waste of time for both of us. I should not even have replied to this one, but I was replying before I remembered that internet newsgroups are terrible places for differences of opinion. That misinterpretation thing again.
