   No, it didn't happen to me, but two people emailed about this to me   
   before (started off with the Xlist and then how to get their money   
   back).   
      
   Speaking of the Xlist, I got two emails this week about it.  Seems   
   even if not reaching the masses, it is doing some good.  Actually, I   
   was pleased this week when someone emailed and said they DID NOT buy   
   from someone because of the list. Usually, I only get emails after the   
   people have been ripped off.  So that was refreshing indeed!
