Between Sherry Goldman and Ethan Winograd, I think some good things can develop. A database of area resources can be established and maintained, with footnotes indicated about bad experiences. Those negative experiences need to be documented well with dates, reported to Better Business Bureau, etc., or else they can ruin a business over a conflict of personality and expectations not made clear.

If there is enough support offered, I am willing to help enter data - I'm not experienced in on-line website maintenance. I have been "saving" the summaries of recommendations for a variety of services over the past several years, but NOT the recent negative reports. (Maybe someone else has them).

By the way, much of what Sherry proposes is doubled in Angie's List. Although that is not a free service, Angie's List does document positive and negative reports very carefully, and works to resolve the negative reports to everyone's satisfaction.
