I agree as well,
Everyone MUST remember that this is a public forum.
Everything you post on CONCH-L is sent to over 300 other people.
Think about it this way: we are all in a big auditorium, you have
something to say, the microphone is handed to you and you speak.
So, when you are saying something about someone, you are saying it
nice and loud for all 300+ people to hear. This includes telling a
dealer that a package didn't arrive (basically you're giving a bad
advertizment for his business in front of all of us...yuck).
My point: choose your words carefully, and don't say anything nasty...
easy to use a private e-mail for that.
Kind thoughts,
Peter
