There is always the question of libel and a desire to steer away from
it.  The best way for us to know who to go to is to post experiences both
bad and GOOD of who we've had dealings with.  If everyone on this list, the
Thing list and any other list I'm a member of is looking for an engine,
hopefully they will have an idea of who the good guys are in the biz.  Most
of the magazines would rather ignor the rip-off artists and continue to
accept their ads rather than loose the income and possibly face problems if
they start bad-mouthing their regular advertisers.  Remember that
advertising keeps magazines in print.  The Better Business Bureau already
knows about GEX.  It would have helped if I had contacted them 1st.

Oh well, live and learn.
