Sounds like SailNet CYA legal-speak.
If I recall items cannot be charged to your credit card until they are
shipped. This used to be a federal law but many states include these
codes verbatim in their state code. The best way to go about this is go
to your "local" ( sailor? ), try several Federal, sometimes state,
congress persons. Senator's offices are normally too busy but try.
Also it helps to get a bunch of people and go into their office
together then periodically send a new person in to complain to the
contact person.
Sometimes local law enforcement help but that is usually a joke. It
also may not be a crime. But I seem to recall it was.
The Feds had over 280,000 complaints about a debt collection agency
before they fined them $100,000. So federal law enforcement is a joke
unless ..... it comes from someone ..... a congress person's
office....
PS: loved the Sailnet site but what is this &$$$&%%^$%^$#$%^# Legal
proceedings against posters???? If Sailnet does file the posters are
going to end up with that Mercedes parked out front and a lot more.
