I believe all of the following "references" offered by Mr Ed were shown to
be false. There was a considerable amount of information provided to show

Ask Ed for the addresses of the individuals named and contact them
yourself......

No one (except maybe Mr Ed) knows exactly what was done here. Many requests
for information about what he means were ignored

Comparison done by Mr Ed. No one else agrees.

Completely debunked.
