I wonder why Blogger's spam filter is having such a hard time spotting this as spam. The word "steroid" in the poster's name is a bit of a give-away to me.Paul A.

If that's the case, you gave them what they wanted in this post. You could add <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow" rel="nofollow"> a nofollow to the link</a> if you think a link to Team PotentialMedis is important.Peterhttp://boolesrings.org/krautzbergernoreply@blogger.com
