Good day Folks,
I would echo Michael in SO-CAL's thoughts. To establish such a list could
result in a rather expensive Defamation suit for the publisher(s) of such
a list.
Best Regards,

List,
So the very first post speaking to putting together a black list
incorrectly accuses someone of being a fraud? Seems to me like trying
to compile such a list would end up causing way more grief than it
would solve.
Regards,
Michael in so. Cal.

being in Todd's company, I can most definitely say that he is an absolutely
GREAT person, one of the nicest most friendly guys you could ever hope to
meet! The list of attributes that Dave listed in the previous email
describes Todd perfectly.
