Well, it is certainly strange. Who knows why Todd is doing these things.
The Todd of late spent enormous amounts of time detailing his schedules,
explaining why he could not get to certain projects, and offering limitless
reasons why he could not do what he was paid to do---none of which was his
fault or in his control. I spent tremendous amounts of time just reading
his correspondence with one or two people. During all that time he could
have at least made *some* effort to fix their transaxles. One was returned
to an owner non-operational. Another competent transaxle mechanic
personally inpsected his work and verified. Conclusion: gross negligence,
stupidity or ignorance of momentous proportions, or Intentionally
sabotaged. Either one of which was rendered him misleading to his customers.
Tracking him down was another story. Thanks to the good people of this
list! Unfortunately, in the final hours, requests for assistance from
local law enforcement had to be involved.
