Coach Smith here. I'm shocked, sad, disappointed,- no, make that APPALLED by
Dr. Sears' site and his rationale for entering into an enormous conflict of
interest.

My husband and I fund our web site out of our own pockets. It's part of my
mission in life, my calling. It's also a business endeavor - we make a bit
of money from the products we sell (mostly items that I've written or
created). We have chosen to not seek or accept any advertising because of
the ethical issues. We can't control who links to our site, but I carefully
consider (sometimes agonize over) all the links that I put on the site.
(yes, we realize the site needs updating and are making many behind-the
scenes changes that will appear soon, I hope.)

I'll add my voice to Jay Gordon's expression of shock and dismay.
