I wouldn't, either. But recently, I did go on the internet to find a contractor for something we needed done within a short time. The outcome was interesting. Angie's popped up in the search results with the names of three contractors. Since I didn't want to communicate with a vendor through the web, but rather by email, so there would be documentation, I wrote down their phone numbers, called the closest one and made a deal for a "good" price.
After the initial contact, the contractor could never be reached after that. In the meantime I got an email from Angie's List asking if I hired one of the three. I figure that my contractor stopped communicating because once he found out I had got his name from Angie he required more profit margin to pay them.
