FASCINATING! Anyone want to trademark it? It's needed, and that group should be told to take down their misleading words.
The American Friends of Lubavitch (Rabbi Levi Shemtov) trademarked "Chabad GW": http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4809:6x509g.2.2

Here are the others. It's not allowed to be used, but these docs say that Agudas Chasidei Chabad abandoned the trademark:
1) http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4809:6x509g.2.8
2) http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=4809%3A6x509g.1.1&p_search=searchss&p_L=50&BackReference=&p_plural=yes&p_s_PARA1=&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA1%24LD&expr=PARA1+AND+PARA2&p_s_PARA2=chabad&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA2%24COMB&p_op_ALL=AND&a_default=search&a_search=Submit+Query&a_search=Submit+Query

Mind boggling! On the side, the writer could use a few tips on how to write an 'easier-read' article: subtitles, side headings, info graphs to visually summarize concepts, etc.

You realize writers don't do those things, right? The editors of the magazine handle that sort of thing. Not to mention that it was written for the print magazine, and may have been presented better there.

http://crownheights.info/op-ed/432239/op-ed-pesach-lists-are-useless-and-harmful/

A very popular “Pesach List” produced in the New York area has, for years, printed erroneous information about a certain drink that is certified by the OK. Each year, this list claims that the product is only kitniyos, and can therefore be used in certain situations on Pesach, when, in fact, the product is chometzdik! Attempts to contact the compiler have been ignored, and each year this horrifyingly incorrect information is reprinted. Clearly, a G-d fearing Jew cannot rely on these lists of medications and other products that are supposedly acceptable for Passover.

Real nice of them to tell us which one is Chometz!!!

While that may run contrary to their whole article, if they know of something that is Chometz and yet on the list you would think they should tell people!!
