Hi All,
These are my thoughts on this subject. I think we all should post names of
people we buy things from good or bad. If we were to say " I bought such and
such from Allen H and it was AOK bla bla or if we were unhappy say so. Then
anyone could check the archives for that name and get any reports good or
bad. I doubt any active listies are intentionly "bad" so it shouldn't be a
problem for "old timers". Probably there are people just crusing by that are
looking to make money off the Internet and a policy of posting names would
make them think twice.
FWIW
