Advice? Opinions? Guidance?

James,

I wish there was! There's one like that who rips off customer after 
customer close to my area.
But as long as he pays his dues, there's evidently nothing we can 
do!!! :-( And unfortunately,
he advertises himself as a member of PTG. He makes me ashamed to be a 
member, quite frankly.
I can't believe there's nothing that can be done, but I guess there 
isn't! He's a real a**hole!
