Just so all the groups Bass posts in can see what a crook he is, I
think I'll break my own rule and cross post the following.

The following is the Better business report on how badly he treats his
victims.

If anyone would really rather not see this being posted in its
entirety every time he advertises in a Newsgroup whose FAQ prohibits
doing so ..... you'd better start complaining to Bass about it.

Otherwise ..... I guess it's just to fucking bad.
