As far as naughtiest list -- be glad that you are not making statements like this about some other companies -I know - you would be receivng a letter from their attorneys -- Be careful what you put in writing and post for the world to see -- Paula Barbara Braxton <barbara@AUSTARMETRO.COM.AU> wrote: Sent this to Kay, but what the heck - the list might as well read it too.
