Man, it was either that or painting my n900 "light red."

Taking one for the team. Admirable.

I look forward to hearing your report. At least SOMEONE is effectively addressing my concerns about whether they're trustworthy--although you're taking a HUGE risk doing it that way. Just the same, good luck--I hope this pans out positive.. I'm sure they'll make a TON of money just on this thread alone, if they turn out to be genuine.

end of topic for me.

Your care is hardly relevant or necessary--your suggestion for determining how trustworthy they are was, itself, untrustworthy. Why do you think that site is trustworthy? Because it has "ratings" in the domain name? I bet I can spin up a domain name with "trust" or "ratings" in the title and domain name--but that hardly makes it an authoritative or trustworthy site. Can you explain to me (without your ironic melodrama) why these sites I've never heard of are trustworthy without turning on me with your (again, ironic) attacks as a way to dismiss my concerns?

I don't think I'm asking too much to tell me why a site I've never heard of.. validates another site I've never heard of. I'm sure many snake oil salesmen used similar real-world tactics to dismiss people who were skeptical of their medical effectiveness and claims.
