Rich,
No, it is not. I left your "original message" from me below.
The key words were " Putting information out on bad substitutions may be deferred until WAY after sale."
I believe what it implies is that people, being people, will tell you a lot about all the good stuff, and little about that stuff that will bite you. Not against the concept, just the practiallity. H-ll, it's hard enough for some people to accept that a buyer would like to make sure he is getting what he is paying for. If that concept can't be understood, I hold small hope for any disclosure not enforceable in a court. In California, if a property owner knows some negative information, he and his agent, are required to disclose in writing. Failure can result in future liability. This is a good law, and is followed, for the most part, becasue of the severity of the penalties. Nothing like a sharp axe and a good headsman to keep eveybody honest.
