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.
