[Boatanchors] My Station Is For Sale

Tue, 27 May 2003 16:18:24 -0500

I ditto Kim's experience.  When I was in the Mack Truck business I
represented myself in small claims court a few times to collect overdue
accounts.  At least in Iowa, it wasn't a whole lot more than filling out
some forms.  I never lost.  No one ever showed up.  But they all paid up.
U.S. Marshalls have a tendency to get people's attention real quick.
