Inappropriate ads appearing in Physics Forums

[Mentz114]

I was shocked to see this ad,
http://www.dreammanifesto.com/wizard...FR8-EAoddnPhRw appearing in the Google section. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. I assume the forum has no control over this but it is almost insulting to have garbage like this advertised in a physics forum.

Or is it a triumph of entrepreneurial spirit over mere truth ?

The admins have some control over it. Greg routinely bans crackpot ads. We just need for people to point them out. Policing the ads is too big a job for just a few people to do, so we rely on folks like you to help. Thanks for pointing this out.

It's my pleasure, Tom. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that scams like this go on. Reading through the posts in this section for the first time I came across a mentor saying something like 'it's not our job to stop people making a buck from the gullible ...' - not a verbatim quote but that's what was meant.

Brings to mind - 'If only the good were clever, and the clever good'.
