Links that have a Green Icon After the link
are safe to visit.If you see a Yellow
or Red icon after any link on this site: you shouldn't surf to it. You should notify the moderators about the topic with a dangerous link in it: so they can remove the topic at once!I will not knowingly list anything here, at The Truth about Hemp, or at Software Santa, with a Poor
or Bad Web Of Trust (WOT) link safety rating! As soon as I see those colors: the topic is trashed Or at least the link is GONE!With best regards,
Software Santa
