Joyce,

I wasn't name calling, I simply made a statement that I thought you were a little paranoid.

I know that there are abstractor's out there who thinking nothing of stealing another abstractor's clients, I have had that happen to me.

However I was never concerned about giving references to potential clients so they could call a few of my clients to find out if they were happy with my work.

One thing doesn't equal the other.

And as far as it being "safe" to post on SOT, I have never felt unsafe posting despite the fact that I have been viciously attacked for sticking up for my clients when others have posted nasty things about them.
