Re: [Fwd: Is your Internet Site legal?]

hmmmm, what guarantee do they provide for my money.  I'm almost tempted to
pay them 100 dollars just to shoot them down.  No folks.  there are lots

and anyway, a bit of work on your own can go a long way.  as far as the
laws they name, things are nebulous at best.
carry a big stick if you must, but know how to use it.
