Subject: [CR]No honor among CR members

Over the last two years I have really come to know many of the CR members and a good deal of them personally. That is why I though about sending this message for some time. Although we are a loose confederation of like minded enthusiast I believed it to be a bit more than that. I actually considered it a trustworthy group of people that I would and could extend a courtesy to when dealing with any fellow member. Well that has ended so far as I am concerned. After two different bouts with fellow members where they avoid contact after I extend a courtesy has opened my eyes. That is sad as I thought of this group as a cut above the normal eBay fader of scammers and petty swindlers. Sorry to say I was wrong and will now deal with those I do not personally know as if they were just another eBay seller. Shame as it is really small potatoes by comparison but it speaks volumes about a person and can turn an otherwise favorable opinion into one like this. Some believe these people should be outed but that is not and never will be my style. I just will have to be more careful in the future and make note for any dealings with those people.
