I want to caution you all that comments made here about others may have legal ramifications if they can be shown to be libelous. Others have said that this is not the forum for legal disputes, and I believe they are correct. To me, it seems appropriate to describe your experiences with various suppliers as good or bad, positive or negative, and to describe anything you might have done differently to protect yourself. I believe it is counterproductive for you, boring to most others, and inappropriate for the mailing list if you start reciting a litany of offenses that you feel others have committed. Problems are best remedied face to face, or through legal channels. Email is a terrible way to resolve a dispute. I also want to remind you that recalling a post is impossible. Nothing is ever lost on the Internet and there's no way of pulling it back once you hit send. The best advice has been said before...treat every post you send as if it was going to appear on the front page of the newspaper. If you're angry, write it, save it overnight, read it again, and then -- and only then -- send it. I welcome your comments, but let's keep them under this subject so that those that don't wish to be involved can filter or delete the thread. Thanks, Your list moderator
