Good point, next time I will use more discretion. However, I did mention in my original correspondance to the seller that it was for a posting here on TBN. He didn't say not to post in a forum and since there was a lot of interest I thought it might be of use to others - also thought it might bring the guy some extra business.
You are right though, and if I decide to be helpful in the future, I will make sure the person is alright with having their information posted and include it in the posting.
Thanks.
