Right on! If someone has concerns, I think that is an appropriate thing to ask about, & to present to the list. At that point it get murky. As this latest incidence shows! And, in my opinion should probably go Pmail.

And yes, I do commend Andrew for admitting the error. Something you don't see a lot of in this ole' world ! Good on ya bro!

But, this type of thing does more harm than good. And also, as a buyer, we all need to do our "due diligence" !

One thing I noticed working for the Government; If someone wanted to get back at someone For a real or Imagined infraction,

All they had to do was start a dirty rumor about that person ....

And .... 9 out of 10 people believed it !!! That's be-lie-ved it.

And, that's what I don't like to see. It's not good for anyone.

And yes I do have a delete button; I do use it liberally.

BTW, Most of what I post is pretty much A bunch of malarkey too, And so I hope folks Are liberally using that button On my posts too !!! hee hee

& that's all I've got to say about that ! F.G.

Peace out. JC...

John - I see your point clearly and I agree to some extent. This case seems to have been a mis understanding and I see that Andrew has posted an apology.

On the other hand - if I were in a situation where I was genuinely "ripped off" I'd want to warn others on this list so that they could avoid such things. I would hope that they would do the same. Only after all the facts are in and appropriate action and communication has been taken with the proposed offending party.

Just my thoughts on the subject.
