Hi all,(including Google editors) 
 
I'd like to clarify that Obebe and myself (karen) are working from
within an advertising agency on behalf of a client who is looking to
us to research the sex toy market thoroughly with a view to launching
a new range of toy(s).  My colleague Obebe (lady) and myself are not
using your researchers for any titilation and do not require any
information of an adult/X rated nature.  We are looking for
Statistics, demographics, Volumes, Values and any other valuable
research (including medical) around these commodities analysed across
the US, Europe (including UK) and the Far East.
 
The information I have received from belindalevez-ga has been
extremely useful and has been presented in a very mature and
businesslike manner.  This is how we would like to prceed with this
research.  I hope that this clarifies this matter and look forward to
continuing with the research.
 
Karen

Thankyou for your clarification.
Again I apologise for any delay.
I am still waiting for a response from the editors. I will answer your
question  as soon as possible. At this time I have still not had a
response from the editors. I have already thoroughly researched your
question and have an answer prepared which I will post as soon as I
receive a response from the editors. It is possible that they want the
content edited in some way (maybe to remove the adult nature) but they
have removed my answer without giving me a reason. I understand that
you have asked questions in a mature and businesslike manner. I have
also done my utmost to answer your question in the same manner. Please
accept my apologies and I will try to resolve this matter as soon as
possible.
