It's a piece of junk.

Yup, it sure seems to be.

Have you visited their website?

Nope - but I did after reading your post.

I'd really love to see someone do an SMT board with
the damn thing. Their site shows a picture of someone
soldering? an SMT part. Or maybe they are just waving
the thing over the board in some form of a bizare
technological exorcism...

Unfortunately, your observations below are all too true.
It's ugly.

If you haven't, you might want to check it out. It's a revelation of
how far slime can go if it's left unchecked. I looked at it and it
appears to me that they're nothing more than a bunch of SPAMmers
trying to justify their tactics by claiming there's a 'need' for
their advertising which, by being placed here, on
sci.electronics.design, is in direct confict with the charter of
this newsgroup as well, I'm sure, as in conflict with the charters
of all the other newsgroups they're SPAMming.

Also interesting: I access Usenet through Giganews and pay them for
downloads. Uploads are free, as are header downloads and I can, and
do, appreciate and respect that policy.

However, if that's the policy to which newsfeeds.com (through whom
the Cold Heat hucksters are running their SPAM campaign) also adhere
to, then the hucksters are getting to address a _huge_ audience,
essentially for free, while all of us who download the bodies
attached to their headers have to pay to read their crap.

That might be OK if their posts were prefaced by "ad" or someting
like that, to forewarn us that the body of the post contained little
more than shit they were trying to get rid of, (which, BTW, failed
on TV) but no...

As far as we all might be concerned, their posts might be a juicy
topic to which we can contribute, but no...

They're not looking for discussion, all they're looking for is
suckers to buy inventory which even TV couch potatoes turn their
noses up at.
