I used the word colema in a previous post. 

I repeated your search, and visited the sites mentioned in half a 
dozen search engines (Webcrawler, Mamma, Excite, Altivista, 
Infoseek, Lycos, and Yahoo.)  Yahoo and Altivista came up with 
nothing.  Webcrawler had seven entries.  Mamma had 47, but most 
of them were for Coleman.  Excite had 49 entries, and Infoseek 
219, but again, most of them were for something other than 
colemas and colema boards.  Lycos I didn't count -- it had a very 
high relevant hit rate on the first three screens, though.

Most of the sites I followed the links to were duplicated on other 
sites.  A few of them were just there to sell equipment.  The rest had 
a fair amount of content.  One of them I've dealt with personally -- I 
can attest to the helpfulness and knowlegeability of the site 
operator, the promptness of the service, and the accuracy of the 
information presented on the site.  I didn't find _any_ that I would 
dismiss outright as quackery.  I would like very much to know the 
criteria on which you based your very broad statement.
