IDM Mailing Archive

Question : If a person is to sell you some cds in a mail deal and ostensibly agrees to do the deal quick - then, for some unexplained reason doesn't respond to repeated emails after your cheque has cleared the bank, how long does one wait before posting a warning to other IDMers? Keep in mind that the mail is slow this time of year and people are busire than usual, although that certainly wouldn't prevent them from replying to the mail...especially when they are posting to the IDM list in the same timeframe. And if you're reading this, you know who you are. No names...yet. I'll be as fair as I think appropriate. It's not polite to leave folks hanging, though. All I ask is for a reason NOT to fear the worst. jeff

it's not me! ;) at least you are cool enough to hold your composure about such matters... although the person should at least email you back if they are in fact still posting to IDM. I could see if maybe the person was home for the holidays or something, but... np: ifach vol.1 In a message dated 12/22/97 8:18:20 PM, aran@hyperreal.org wrote:
