CompuServe Messages

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. -sja
