jackg,
Mmmmmm, so what you are saying is that choices in this forum such as using font size, bold, italics, strike throughs, smileys, hyperlinks, etc., are not meant to be used in this forum? If you feel this way, then I suggest you should resist the urge to add a picture of trees because maybe that is boring or politically offensive to others, (as in tree-hugger). If I look over these posts, and I count the number of emails I have received about this, I can tell you others feel the way I do. Right in this very forum, there actually ARE other posts in regard to this subject and similar incidents have happened and when I called the Federal Trade Commission, they had an opinion OPPOSITE of yours. In addition, if only short posts were what the owner of the forum wanted to generate, the ability to contribute longer posts certainly would not be available. In regard to digestion, perhaps it is you who should sit down and digest what Suze Orman represents on TV shows like the Oprah program and other numerous visits on other PBS shows. I suggest to you that if on those programs, she explained that in her version of credit reports, the program would produce them in such a way that they would add negative verbage, no one would have even gone to her site to obtain a credit report. Also I took that report to my banker yesterday and showed it to him and he states their poor excuse (programming problems) is ridiculous, and that if a "programming problem" existed, the intelligent programmer, who should understand the sensitivity of credit reports and how people feel about them, would simply program this kind of "bug" OUT as it has no place in a credit report. You can say what you want about the posting and I encourage you to exercise your opinion, but in regard to postings and choices or preferences, perhaps if it were your credit report you paid $50 for, your opinion would be different. If you don't like the post, then move on and read another as there are many good things to read on this forum. I have read many posts on this forum and it seems these posting styles are not prohibited, including your choice of tree as a reflection of who you apparently are. I doubt Suze would have any people watching her programs if she told people upftont on TV that an unrated account would add the word "bankruptcy" to what she has represented to be the information in the TU or any other report. If the programmer wants to add words, one can only wonder why they would use words that are, in the world of credit reports, negative rather that nuetral or positive. 
I wish you the best the forest has to offer, but you know what they say, "if a tree falls in the forest, who hears it?"

Hi sunsets,
While I appreciate your participation in the Forums and rather enjoy your writing style, I have to agree with jackg as I try to wade through your posts in an effort to help with the negative situation you've experienced. The sheer length of your posts makes it difficult to sort out your specific issues well enough to act on them. (I wish I had the time to read them in their entirety but I just don't.)
Perhaps if you'd like to PM me with a very brief description of the problem(s) I'll contact our customer service folks and have someone get back to you?
I hope to hear from you in (an abbreviated form) so I can help.
Thanks!
Barry
