I meant to add that anyone here has permission to forward the information I
sent about this relationship wherever you'd like without attribution. Also,
if you want to find the information yourself, my husband sent me the how-to
guide:

<<Go to WHOIS at http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois
At this site you can type in domain names and get information about when
they were registered and who registered them.  I entered askdrsears.com and
it came back with a bunch of info about the site.  The two important things
I got from this are:
1. It was registered on 11/1/2000.  No big secret since they say as much on
their site.
2. The admin contact for the site is Baylor Fooks and his email address is
[log in to unmask]  In addition the dns servers listed are both
brwebsoft.com servers.

Number 2 told me that askdrsears.com is hosted at brwebsoft.com so I went to
http://www.brwebsoft.com.  At that site they have a list of clients that use
their hosting services.  askdrsears.com, storebrandformulas.com, and
pbmproducts.com are all listed there (along with a few other sites).  I
clicked on the PBM Products link to see what it was (it sounded suspicious
to me) and it turns out to be the folks who work with Wyeth to
produce/distribute/market/sell the store brand artificial baby milk.  I then
went back to WHOIS and entered pbmproducts.com and storebrandformulas.com.
This told me that pbmproducts.com was registered in July 99 and
storebrandformulas.com was registered on 10/22/2000 (9 days before
askdrsears.com).

The other interesting thing is that if you look at http://www.brwebsoft.com
you'll see that this is a very small web host (about 10-12 sites) and all of
the sites, including PBM, are in Virginia except for askdrsears.com.  In
addition there is no information on the site about how much it would cost to
host a web site there or how to sign up.  You would have to call to get
details and set things up.  It is not the kind of site that you would find
if you were some random person looking for a web host.  All the clients are
either companies that Baylor Fooks has owned, operated, or been associated
with in some way or that at the very least are located in Virgina very close
to Charlottesville, where brwebsoft.com is located.  I don't think that
there is any way that anyone could believe that askdrsears.com ended up at
this particular host except through pbm products, who obviously also set up
storebrandformulas.com to advertise on his site.>>
