The reason I let it through (along with the replies) is that it seemed a very pertinent follow up and closure to a problem that first appeared on the list last year. It's obviously of interest to the group, and a good warning to anyone considering buying a car sight- unseen. Do your due diligence. He's only made two posts in the past two years, hardly over-use of the list. I don't think letting this through is going to change anyone's mind, in fact it sure seems from the replies that people are even madder at the guy. He looks to be getting his just deserts from the legal system. I don't for a minute think that he's going to get ANY sympathy in this group, in fact I was surprised that his lawyer let him do it. Looking at the information on his website didn't do a thing to change my opinion. At best what was done was ethically shady, at worst illegal, the opinion that really counts will be the judge (and his cell-mate's). Watch it on the follow-ups, anything overtly slanderous will get the boot.
