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

<SPAN class=correction id="">IMHO</SPAN>, 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
