REFLECTOR:Scott's question "VV is it worth it?"

[velocityxlfg]

Scott
As far as the VV are concerned I am on the same page
but maybe a with a little more tact. I would like to add on thing to the
list the way he collects payment leaves a little to be
desired. We have all  made it to the 21century, and most people do use
credit cards for payments, Hell even
McDonalds takes them now . Why can't he?
