well Mike your arguements are well put so I can at least say that.
Dont be done with the thread because it may upset you (and if it does, I am sorry it does) but rather, let's go back to the original issue at hand.

the original issue was this:

Poster found a place to buy MOs with a CC.
We all wanted to know more.
It spun into a debate as to whether that action should even be allowable and some who are new to the entire concept began a debate about it. Some who are savvy to it, responded and some just chimed in not knowing what to do about it.

BUT the original issue is still there: you can do it at some places. Illegal or not, breaking policy or not, it can be done. And I guess I have to side with the camp who believes that if the store is waving its flag begging me to come in and buy milk for a $1 and then grab a Money order in the same CC purchase, I guess I'm goin in.

Nuf said.
Again, i have found none in my area.
I live off Rte 128 in the North Shore of MA now, and I work in Charlestown, right next to the city of Boston. I have not looked everywhere but if I find it I will do it.
