How are the the arguments beyond you?  You're the one trying to start
up the site.  But I will be happy to give you some pointers about the
subject on which you might want to think.

  One thing, an important thing, is that the diet industry often preys
on fat people.  There are plenty of very expensive diet products out
there that simply don't work, but are heavily advertised because the
manufacturers know that many of us fat people are desperate to lose
weight, and will spend a large chunk of our disposable income if we
think that would help.  Keep this thought in your head if you really
have any interest in understanding the response us fat people are giving
you.  Like a deer in hunting season, we tend to be a bit gun shy.

  You keep saying that you are only targeting people who want to take
hoodia.  Tell me, why do you suppose anyone would want to take hoodia?
Because it makes their aura brighter?  Because it will make their hair
grow faster?  Or is it because it is said that it will lead to weight
loss?  If it works, and that is a big, big if, it is only an means to an
end.  People are not interested in taking hoodia per se, they are
interested in losing weight.

  There are, as you know, many many websites that sell hoodia.  There
is no evidence that hoodia in pill or supplement form works for weight
control.  You are trying to engineer an income opportunity from
discussion about this product.  If you are trying to make money from
something that doesn't work, then yeah, I smell fraud.  

  Of course, you don't know me from Adam.  I might be some internet
kook that rants about everything and makes no more sense then the guys
who wander the streets of some large cities, holding very loud one sided
conversations.  But then you might want to look at the fact that you
really aren't getting much interest here in your little project, and try
to come up with plausible ideas as to why that might be.  It's easy to
draw conclusions such as "Fat people are mean, stupid, paranoid,
ignorant..." or what have you.  But is that really going to help you in
your quest to promote this forum of yours?  If my response about the
"red button" seems so off base to you, please tell me what you think is
going on here.
