as a contractor or as a customer, with any
such service.



Not a contractor but I subscribed to Angie's list earlier this year and
found its a real PITA on the user end. It spams you two or three times a
day. I am seriously considering adding it to the bozo bin.

A lot like advertising in the local bargainhunter rag. You get all
the "customers" looking for a deal -and the ones NOBODY can satisfy.
Unlike the bargainhunter rags, they'll badmouth you across the
country.

Admitedly, they are not ALL that kind of customer - but do you need
ANY of them???

You might get 20 real happy customers and one of the "others" - - and
you are done like dinner.
