while I agree that people should see for themselves what Real has to offer with Helix, I think past actions should be taken into account; Not ignored. If a rapist was giving candy out to children you wouldn't go, "oh how cheritable. he is being nice now!" You would be very critical and wonder what he may be up to. It's only natural to be suspicious about a previously unfavorable companies current offerings.
