...you have proved your point and Al has disappeared...

I realize this thread should really end with a kitty post, but I just couldn't let this comment slip by without suggesting a bragging rights contest to pick closest to the next date that Al gets called out on a public forum for a transaction gone haywire.

Lessee. He'll be cooling his heels for a month until this one blows over. Give him another 2-mos to start up another enterprise and get in over his head. It'll take another couple mos for a customer to realize that something is not quite right. Another 2-wks of evasive maneuvers until the customer does some web searches, and BAM, out comes the call-out post. So my entry is 8Oct08. Of course, if Al has other pots on the fire, the call-out date could be sooner, but I'll play it conservative and stick with 8Oct08.
