[Phono-L] should I get Pay Pal?

[Chris Kocsis]

I had the same problem with Shawn Borri and it still rankles.  I even 
defended him to strangers because he had a good reputation.  No apology, 
no refund.  I understand his partner screwed him over and he had severe 
financial problems, which he may not yet have recovered from; and there 
are people who speak well of him.
