(Not airtabs but the Evo style) Even so, just because a few people try something with no results is no reason others shouldn't try. Otherwise we'd all still be in the stone age.

I'm not arguing they in fact work. And I know from lurking here for years that this is beating a dead horse. And I'm very skeptical myself. But I'm still going to try.
