If the less perceptive were not able to deduce, I'm the "someone" who felt
compelled to forward the messages to Bill.  Anytime something is said in
public - whether I read it in a newspaper or see it on the net - about
someone I know, I'll most assuredly relay the message.  If someone came to
me and said "please do not repeat this," I won't.  Simple.

I found your "Warning to Colorado People" message to be offensive and out
of line.  Bill Pichardo is not dishonest.  If you don't like people
forwarding what you say in public, think about what you are saying first.

One thing I keep in mind, particularly in Usenet, is who might be lurking.
You don't know who is out there; neither do I.

Very true, and thanks for stepping up with the resoloution.  I appreciate
it; while I don't work for Slipstream I know they are not dishonest.  Had
you simply said "I had my car fixed & did not like the result," for
whatever reason, well, hey, that's fine.  I've purchased services I was
dissatisfied with, nothing wrong with that.  Calling a shop dishonest(and
I realize you were "mad" or venting or whatnot) sorta rubbed me the wrong
way.  


 They are a good shop, and

Yes they do!  I'd not take my car anywhere else.  Glad this got worked
out.
