I actually don't have a problem with Randall's email, I think it's for the
good of the list itself actually.
I have dealt with Thad on a few occasions. Initially, I had mostly positive
experiences and continued to deal with him, but I also had 2 experiences
that were most miserable. It took months (approx. 6mths) to receive items
that were paid for in advance, and the communication from Thad was
non-existent. It actually got to the point of tracking down a home phone #
for Thad and speaking to him directly before I received the items I paid
for. I too heard about the hospital thing & in my frustrations (which I
posted on this and other lists)many other people responded to my postings
that they too had similiar experiences & heard the same excuses all which
spanned a number of years. Now they may be very valid excuses, but people
on this & other lists should be aware of the history and expectations before
committing their money.
Best,
Colin

Randall-
I believe that was a period of time when i was forced
to stay in a hospital for a long period of time. You
were not the only one affected during this time.
Unfortunately, it was unavoidable that your items
arrived so late. Please accept my apologies that they
did. I have sold and traded with MANY MANY people
through the internet and most arrangements have gone
just fine. It is unfair for you to paint the picture
that being so late with my arrangements is typical for
me. I only wish you would have contacted me privately
so these questions could have been handled more
appropriately. Best wishes-
-Thad
