svelteParticipantI don’t know if they are still at it, but Scientology had a history of suing the living crap out of ppl who said derogatory things about them in the 1990s. There was one newsgroup in that era where a group of ppl took to bashing Scientology (exposing it in their minds), and they found themselves in court in short order.
From my recollection, the ppl in that newsgroup claimed Scientologists had some sort of means of getting you to admit problems from your past (I think it was those tin can things CMcG spoke of?), recording those and then using them as leverage to keep you in the fold. I have no idea if that’s true or not.

svelteParticipantThe Holiday Wine Cellar actually has a very nice wine selection downstairs, we try and stop in whenever we find ourselves in Escondido. They have some very rare wines and many very expensive wines, a nice place to shop if you want something for a special occasion.
As for the area of Escondido where the home is located, the thing that would concern me most is something that not many people know about: the old Chatham Brothers Barrel Yard located at 2257 Bernardo Ave. It is a superfund cleanup site – drive by and you’ll see vent tubes sticking out of the ground…it’s eery. The site used to be a barrel yard where trichloroethylene, benzene and polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs leaked into the ground water.
This leak formed a plume that headed southward towards Lake Hodges. This threat to the area water source lead to its inclusion on the superfund cleanup list.
More info on the site can be found here:

You’ll find a map of the plume on page 2 of the following document:
As you’ll see, the plume is a good 2000 ft from that house. People appear to be living just fine in the area, but it’s something you should be aware of before you buy in case it would affect your decision.

svelteParticipantActually you can probably blame the cut on another very long trend:
Internet killed the newspaper star

svelteParticipantI played around with it some. The problem is that it doesn’t give specific addresses, just a street name, which makes it practically useless.
Also, there appeared to be a lot of general b*tching and moaning and not a lot of concrete gripes.
On top of that, the site kept crashing. Probably because it had just been featured on CNN and was getting a tidal wave of hits.
It may be useful some day, but at the moment it’s not ready for prime time. I love the way websites think that all is forgiven if they simply plaster the word “BETA” on the site and make us all become their beta testers!
