Dom-
Thanks for typing in the same thing that my wife (an attorney) has been telling
me. Lots of big words for my un-skilled typing fingers.
In this particular case, the statements I made against R. Rice can be easily
backed-up with printouts and downloads of messages from R. admitting to what he
was doing (not intending to pay me, and selling the same Amiga computer he
"borrowed" from me on CServe's main classified). So libel doesn't seem to apply
(R.Rice is likely lurking here somewhere, but I don't suppose he has the nerve
to add anything).
Dom – what is your personal opinion, by the way, about whether or not
CompuServe's customer service should be even the least bit interested in
following up with R.R. to see if this was a practice he commits frequently or
not? Obviously my point was never to get CS to help me legally or whatever in
my situation, but rather to see if this guy has an "operation" like this and
does the same thing to other CServe members.
