[net.followup] money orders

I think saying "don't accept money orders" is highly unreasonable.
If a business won't accept money orders, how are people supposed to
pay bills, order merchandise, etc. if they don't have credit cards
or a checking account?  I've known many people like that over the
years, who just didn't have enough money to make a checking account
worthwhile and didn't have credit.  Would you force these people
to send cash?

Perhaps a better solution is to carefully inspect incoming money
orders and/or verify their authenticity -- I believe the latter
is possible to do through the USPS.
