    Oh, I forgot: The other BIG law here:

    No selling stuff. Period. Ever. No exceptions.

    So...what kind of sock is best? Hanes? Gold Toe? Athletic Nikes? Ladies' pantyhose? Colored or white?

    I have these great Tilley brand travel socks--soak them in a sink and they dry in 2 hours--"Two pairs will take you around the world!" How do they work?

    I mean, how can you compare the "Sock" vs "Skimmer" method unless you can get hard info on how different socks perform?
