WHAT?!? Is it some kind of National secret?!?

I would love to know who they are.

Notaries are railing against some moronic SS for the moronic or evil things they do (and rightfully so); but never post who that SS was. I don't think your doing much of a service for your fellow Notary's if you don't tell. What? is it some kind of a National Secret? Do I need the code? I don't get it.

I'm referencing a couple of posts in the: "I can not tolerate rude SS" thread

No Charles...the company hired her..she said

"I had to share my experience from this past Friday. I was hired to do a signing from a company I had not worked with before. I thought I haven't read anything about them I give them a try."

my 2 centavos...
I do not say the name of a company simply because it is bad business. Although most are familiar with the big losers and mention them frequently. Companies read this board and there may be any number of reasons for a mess up, including the possibility of a notary's own mistakes.
Better to e-mail or ask than to complain about why things are the way they are. Don't feel entitled to know what anyone else here knows. They found out by experience.
I've seen a few notaries get fried over the last 4 years for defamation of character on a public forum, just go back and search nna and see what I mean. Th owner of the forum was threatned with a suit for this very reason.

People threaten other people all the time with lawsuits, that's hardly indicative of anything. I think it was just the NNA blowing the same hot air they always blow.

I think the same as well, would have had a front seat tho, had it gone to gavel. Fascinating would be seeing them do the back step. Popcorn anyone?

Por nada Muchacho! The English language is tough enough

for those born speaking but for those of us who came to it through education it gets even more arcane. I used antecedent in its grammatical definition. Specific antecedent in that particular example would have been had the other poster specifically had you mentioned it. I tent do read literally some times because that is how I learned the language. Its good that you looked it up, for in that way it will have better understanding if you run across it again. An excellent method for disassembling an argument is by diagramming it ( and I use argument in its pure meaning, the word carries a lot of baggage for a lot of people) then it becomes much clearer.

I do not believe that you need a "code" to get information. I did not list the SS because like Charm I believe it is bad business in a public forum. I just needed to vent. If you would like to know more info you can always send me a private message.
