Where did you go? People haven't gotten their RealTouch and posted a review and they are now being sold. I kind of miss your strange conspiracy theories.

Oh, I'm here.
Just waiting to see what folks have to say.
On the "conspiracy" front, perhaps you'd like to reference the "patent" you claim is "patented technology?" Will that be the immersion patent, or perhaps the "636 patent?" The price has increased to cover this expense?
And it's not being widely sold....it's being sold to a "select group of individuals." The product was produced, and sitting in boxes for months.
Again, why was that...specifically?
I was kind of hoping to see some retail ads, as opposed to just trade ads. (And please, could you come up with some new advertsing? Straight rip-offs of other people's work is flattering, but sad.) Lots of retail ads will draw interest to the industry.
If I say anything about it, I'm accused of "knocking" the product, and when I monitor, I'm accused of "disappearing."
Which is it?
(remember, you asked.)

Deep Throat was first introduced to the public in the 1974 book All the President's Men, written by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, which was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film two years later. According to the authors, Deep Throat was a key source of information behind a series of articles on a scandal which played a leading role in introducing the misdeeds of the Nixon administration to the general public. The scandal would eventually lead to the resignation of President Nixon as well as prison terms for White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman, G. Gordon Liddy, Egil Krogh, White House Counsel Charles Colson and John Dean, and presidential adviser John Ehrlichman.Real time chicago Real Estate listings!
Howard Simons, the managing editor of the Post during Watergate, dubbed the secret informant "Deep Throat" as an allusion to the notorious pornographic movie which was a mainstream cause of controversy at the time. The name was also a play on the journalism term "deep background," referring to information provided by a secret source that, by agreement, will not be reported directly.
For more than 30 years, the identity of Deep Throat was one of the biggest mysteries of American politics and journalism and the source of much public curiosity and speculation. Woodward and Bernstein insisted they would not reveal his identity until he died or consented to have his identity revealed.
On May 31, 2005, Vanity Fair magazine revealed that William Mark Felt, Sr. was Deep Throat, when it published an article (eventually appearing in the July issue) on its website by John D. O'Connor, an attorney acting on Felt's behalf, in which Felt reportedly said, "I'm the guy they used to call Deep Throat." After the Vanity Fair story broke, Woodward, Bernstein, and Benjamin C. Bradlee, the Post's executive editor during Watergate, confirmed Felt's claim to be Deep Throat. L. Patrick Gray, former acting Director of the FBI and Felt's boss, disputes Felt's claim to be the sole source in Gray's book, In Nixon's Web, written with his son Ed Gray. Instead, Gray and others have continued to argue that Deep Throat was a compilation of sources combined into one character in order to improve sales of the book and movie.
