[R-390] Netiquette

[Tom Bridgers]

As someone else said I pay attention to folks who report having bad 
experiences with a seller.  It's useful information.  Bottom line is I'd 
rather get the information, make my own decision about it, than not receive 
the information at all.
Thanks to Perrier for the info.
Best,
-Tom
