Bullshit Seth, is what it is. Nobody was offended by the followup,
just incredulous at your stupidity in salesmanship.

If they are completely satisfied, why follow your post 6 minutes later
with a supposed testimony of how "great" this service is?

Okay, here is the question, you posted to many, many newsgroups.
(triangle.singles?, too busy courting to board up their beach
property? :-)
And you say that there are hundreds of homeowners completely
satisfied...

People reading this item in these groups, has anyone ever heard of
Carolina Storm Services? Anyone used their services? 

After reading Seth's posts, does anybody have any credence that this
is a reputable service?

Nobody is trying to malign you Seth, but you dug your own hole, as
your post and quick followup exudes a dishonest air.


Bertha, doncha come around here any more!
