Margaret,
I guess they could sue but printing the truth - and since it will be singed
by the person posting it - is not libel. It is only libel if you cannot
prove what you say or at least that is what my journalism background has
taught me and this does apply in the case of a business who is at fault.
I know Dave's Garden does this and so far to my knowledge nothing bad has
happened to him even though he does get negative remarks about some
businesses.
If a company contacts me feeling that what is said about them is in error I
will gladly investigate it and post my findings. If I see a post that I
question I will also investigate it. The key here is this is people's
opinions and well, we all have one!
So far all that has been posted (with the exception of one bad trader from
another popular site who is on eBay selling seeds) has been very positive
and I hope this is the majority of what gets posted but when a bad review is
deserved, well, it is deserved - even if it is about me and I sure hope our
book won't get bad reviews! After all my goal is to make this book a NYT #1
bestseller. I think Tom would like that too since he is co-writing it
although he tells me it has never happened and not to get my hopes up but
hey, I have to aim high!

you may want to re-think the bad reviews of seed companies and nurseries.
They can sue for libel, and truth is not a defense in the case of business
or trade libel, to the best of my knowledge. Margaret L
