Fortunately, I have not given one red cent to TDI or DeepDeath. But, I
must admit that I feel a little in the dark about this "Fear and
Loathing" article. When I e-mailed them and asked for a copy of the
article, they told me I had to buy a copy of what sounds to me like
nothing more than a TDI advertising portfolio. Not a chance. How can I
get a copy of the article, electronically or otherwise?
