[sdiy] ethics of suppliers/rant

[laxt57 at aol.com]

 Hi Doug
  I agree, I think we all should post good trader/bad trader reports
 as we complete transactions. I think this would save lots of grief.
 If I ever buy from anybody off the list again I will.

IMHO, people should be posting good trader/bad trader posts on this list to aid 
others in these trades. If you had a bad experience with a supplier, I would 
sure like to know so that I don't make the same mistakes.

Take care,
Doug
