[TechAssist] Re: Question on Circuitcity ext. warr.

Anybody that wants to! You can view any of these messages with a Google search. 
All you need is a name or a topic. Same with other lists that I belong to, 
except Nesdanet. On that list the problem is that occasionally someone on the 
list will forward a message to a friend to get some brownie points and then it 
comes back into your face. Nothing wrong with posting warnings about dealing 
with others  except be sure to stick to the provable facts and not just 
opinions that might injure someones business or reputation wrongfully.
