Dell has always been one to use forum postings to advertise his wares. Not just this forum, but any forum that picks up a little traffic on the subject of dowsing.
I propose his motive for starting this thread, and with the wording he did, was nothing more than another of his schemes to get some free advertising by having every one here mention his name in a series of postings.
I'd say his scheme worked rather well.
He may have only a 6th grade education (or less) but he is certainly no fool. While his direct competition, in the LRL/MFD scam dowsing device market, spend thousands of dollars on websites and website designers; to attract more sales - Dell has always garnered his share of the market by haunting dowsing and LRL/MFD forums.
With the exception of Mike(Mont) and Tim Williams (a couple of wanna be's), you really don't see any other manfacturer/dealers pushing their wares on the aforementioned forums. Clearly, different strategies for different marketeers.
