Watching what you say online
I just wanted to share something I saw on the news last night. I know many of us are much braver writing things online than we would be talking to someone in person, so you should be aware of what might get you into trouble. I'm not just talking about what you say here; this goes for Facebook and any other forum you comment in.
If what you say about someone can be proven true, you are okay. But, if you say something bad about someone or some company online, you are taking the chance of being charged with libel or slander. To play it safe, if you can't say it to the person's face, think again about saying it online.
Getting something off your chest just isn't worth a lawsuit.

Good advice, Theresa. I think these kinds of forums are great for honest opinions. The discussions on the Duff Goldman products, for instance, are nice because they are unbiased opinions on the quality and price. I think if I had a company that sold products to a niche market I would be very interested in what the users were saying about it. :) Just be sure and let everyone know it's your OPINION on a product and you should be fine.
