Good article, mlou. It always amazes me how dOGs justify their deeds.

"We don't know how many people called that guy," Ken Sanner said.


"That guy" is James Possi of Waukesha, Wisc.


But Possi doesn't think he did anything wrong.


"Over-protecting, over-regulating is not good for anybody," Possi said when a reporter called him March 5.


When asked why he listed himself as a florist in our area Possi said, "small businesses like me have to use their imaginations."

The orders are transmitted to shops under the name Best Floral, Waukesha, WI. IIRC, Best Floral sends its orders through Floral Source wire service.

These shop owners are just wonderful people, and I am glad that you posted this, and there are so many types of this going on right now, and also ways to prevent it on your own, as well not just in the phone book, also tips of doing it your self, That you don't have the issues, adn it will cut down on the issues at hand...

James is a complete A$$...I had a run in with him when I first opened...He screamed at me for wanting to know where in Melrose his shop was and he screamed at his customer who was really upset about her order that she spent more on than he gave me considerably more, like 25.00 more. He would not give her an itemized bill and it ended there. I called verizon and they said there was nothing that could be done about them...He was sending me orders through bloomnet then and I got nowhere with them because I could not get the neccessary itemized proof of what she spend and what I was sent...

This is actually how I found flowerchat....so James didn't do all bad in his life, he served the purpose of me finding the best little corner of the web to keep on on trash like himself...I am passionate about the loathing I have for that man and hope he finds himself like the meola guy someday...I hope he does something that ends him up in prison...

OK I am done now...Thanks MLOU for that article, I hope someday someone will listen to someone or someone has the right words, time and tenacity to push forward and get this guy because he sux...
