Tom you completely missed my point. It's a great service to others to
warn about bad experiences with companies and it's one of the purposes
of the misc.consumers newsgroup, BUT read again the statement Adam
made that I quoted. He directly accuses that company of criminal
conduct: "Comp America is a mail-order company that makes money
by sending out broken computer systems." It maybe true or not, but
unless he can prove it with more than one fact it is dangerous to make
such statements.
