[Wow!  What a string of coincidences!  It appears that the following
offer is genuine after all.  It seems that the answering service that
belongs to the "800" number moved their operation and, in the process,
lost the order to turn on NetResults' service.  Then, when I tried to
check with the submitter's home phone number, I found that it had been
disconnected, but that turned out to be a misunderstanding between the
submitter and his local phone company.  When I called today, it was
working just fine.  I called the "800" number again, and they know all
about "NetResults".  I had to pressure the operator to look for it,
though.  It seems the answering service is still somewhat confused.
Anyway, I've cancelled my "hoax?" message and what follows is the text
of the original posting.  I apologize for any confusions or problems
I may have contributed to.  The person from NetResults that I spoke with
seemed genuinely concerned and professional.  RWH]
