Ray,
If you felt insulted, that was not my intent. "Fraud" is a strong word,
and I didn't see any basis for such a label related in your experience.
This persistent belly-aching about bad deals on the CR list takes away from the value of the list, and I think that if people do not use the resources available to them to resolve problems, then I (as well as you and many other readers) should not have to be subject to the consequence of their lack of acumen in business dealings. There is a reason why we used to have terms like caveat emptor, is it possible that we're all too young to have forgotten that?
Ray, you obviously have no idea how the persistent private e-mails from these complaining a**holes bothers me. Do YOU like "spam"? I have no affiliation with Carsten apart from having bought things from him, and suddenly, these persistent s.o.b.s insist upon bothering me PRIVATELY (as incidentally, you've chosen to also, despite my obvious request/statement in my post to the group)
Truthfully, I am sorry all these folks have problems, but as I can no more feed the starving in China, I cannot resolve those idiot's business problems for them. Even if I could, how would I (or any OTHER person for that matter) be inclined to help, when these frustrated bidders start into their frenzy. Truth be known I am SO inclined to issue a heart-felt "f***-you" to you all, but will hold back from that for now. And if you have a problem with THAT personal inclination, try to see it as in the same spirit y'all exhibit when you chose to ignore my request and pester me with private e-mails.
