Unfortunately, due to the many idiots who are spamming my comments with religious drivel and Viagra ads, I am forced to moderate all comments. I sincerely hope this will not discourage honest posters who want to participate in this blog. Your comments are valuable to me and I read them all.
Thank you!!

Recently, I was contacted via email by a person named "John Richards". At first I thought he was writing as a fan of my blog, but the true intent of his email became clear pretty quickly. He wanted me to visit his website http://www.stutteringremedy.com/ where he is selling his "remedy" for stuttering which costs, you guessed it, $19.99.
He said that he cured his stutter by himself when he was 18 years old. He is now over 60 years old. But, he never thought much of his own cure until, amazingly, a little over a year ago, he "texted" his cure to a 16 year old who magically had his stutter cured in a matter of minutes! Aside from the "stuttering cure" part of all of this...in what context would a 60+ year old man have opportunity to text with a minor? Did he have the permission of this minor's parents to contact him? Doesn't "John" know of the dangers of internet predators?
As you read through the site (which is structured much the same as all the scam-cure websites) it becomes obvious that "John Richards" is educated, not in speech therapy or pathology, but rather in rhetoric, emotion and how to say a whole while really saying nothing at all.
Consider this grandiose portion:
