In among all the ICPS renewals I've been receiving during the past
month, I've also received two adds I'd like to share with those who
haven't seen or heard about them, and hopefully get a bit more
information for myself from those who have. No nether I nor the ICPS
are connected in any financial way with either of these interprises.
This is not an endorsement. Please do not write me for more
information.
Please contact the principles of either listing directly. I will NOT
forward your messages!
