ETIS International Answers and Wiki fusion with links to products you can purchase related to entries

About This Blog

This blog is a fusion of 'Answers' and 'Wiki'.  Where appropriate, products available for purchase that match the topic are included in the answer or wiki.  We cut out the worthless clutter, cut to the chaste, and provide you with who, what, when, where, how, in crystallized form.

Sometimes an answer to a question asked in the 'answers' format or setting can be answered in the wiki format setting, and vice versa, sometimes they can be answered in both, or sometimes neither.  A combination of 'answers' and 'wiki' does the job best.  Why have 2 separate pages answering the same questions twice in redundancy, when you can have the answers wiki fusion?

Once you have your answers, why leave the webpage and start a whole new search looking for the product you want to buy, risk losing or confusing the information you gained in the myriad of other webpages out there, when you can have a few of the best product selections right there on the same page?

This is what we intend, strive, and hope to accomplish.

We will additionally at times, import material from other sites, blogs, and resources, and state to the utmost degree we can, its original source.
