It seems to me that negative experiences a person might have with a small business owner should best be relayed person to person rather than broadcast across the entire listerv. There have been a rash of postings recently with negative experiences people have had with contractors. As we all know there are two sides to every story. I dont think that tainting someones reputation in a public forum is an appropriate use of this listserv. This is one neighbors opinion. It seems to me that a preferable way to express a negative experience or a warning would be a private email to the person seeking recommendations. Thanks for listening to my thoughts.
