IMHO, if you know the summons exists, as you apparently admit, then accept it now.
By posting on here, you have publically admitted knowledge, and implied advice on how to dodge it. Not good.
Legally now almost impossible to argue lack of knowledge, or lack of intent to interfere with service.
My opinion... accept it.

I didn't construe his/her post to be necessarily seeking advice on "dodging" the summons/debt, per se, with the intent of rooking the system.
And for that matter, there are many here that would prefer to "dodge" the summons until they can make contact with the plaintiff/attys, hoping to reach a settlement/agreement prior to a court date, on their own terms. If you read the forums, there are a lot of people that have been sued for debts out of SoL or for debts that aren't even theirs. I didn't see anything in the OPs post that would exclude those conditions.
Unless the poster came right out and stated that they're "dodging" the summons with the intent of putting one over on the system, I really don't think it's fair to judge him/her.
I was under the impression that being judgmental was against the spirit of the forums here. At least, that's what I've seen the Mods say, and I think they'd know best, don't you?
