I googled RSL-H and only turned up your post here. Did you get the name right?

It does show you probably aren’t a spammer, though. First rule of business is “Spell the product’s name right.” 😉

ETA: Googled “indiegogo” and it’s a crowd-funding site. Maybe you are spamming. You still should get the product’s name right.

Oh, you meant “RLS-H!” Still prefer to get mine from vegetables and licorice. And still don’t know what it has to do with crowdfunding.
