[CAUT] selling my customers down the river

[Carl Root]

I have an interest in the subject of buying and selling piano service  
client lists.  (wrote a PTJ article on the subject a while back.)  I'm  
tempted to dissect this offering line by line, but I keep coming back  
to your subject line . . .  "selling my customers down the river".

Really?!?!?!?
