Art,
I learned in my law courses (Journalism Law) that one of the few
defenses for libel is "Truth".
You can say anything in the mass media about someone and get away with
it if it is true.
Therefore, if anyone on the list relates an honest story about any
vendor, they can rest assured that they would not be found guilty of
libel as long as they could prove that what they said is the "Truth".
Regards,
Joe Curry
