I find it fascinating that increasingly, people in this country, refuse to
accept personal responsibility.
You had something you wanted to sell. Using this section in AmigaUser
Forum you found a potential buyer. CompuServe in general, or this forum
in particular, is no more responsible for the transaction than your local
newspaper would be if you'd placed your ad there.
Finding a buyer, you are responsible for determining if the buyer is
qualified. You did not do that. You stated you wanted "COD" and the
check bounced? Sorry, C.O.D. means Cash on Delivery — not a personal
check. You can also request certified funds (cashier's check, certified
check, etc.). You were negligent in your responsibly in this transaction,
got burned, and are now attempting to blame the advertising medium for
your negligence.
