Sad, 5.35 USD lesson from a Forum member Message #1 Posted by Peter Murphy (Livermore) on 8 June 2012, 1:14 p.m. Several of you may remember this thread from four weeks ago: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv021.cgi?read=220043 The outcome was an offer by a Forum member to reimburse me for the postage required to send him a nonworking TI-66 calculator. I sent him the calculator, and have made several attempts to contact him since then. He has sent me nothing.

Re: Sad, 5.35 USD lesson from a Forum member Message #2 Posted by Eric Smith on 8 June 2012, 2:30 p.m., in response to message #1 by Peter Murphy (Livermore) I think I'm having trouble with outgoing email; I've sent several messages requesting your postal address. I'll send you a message from my Gmail account.

Re: Sad, 5.35 USD lesson from a Forum member Message #3 Posted by David Hayden on 9 June 2012, 6:34 p.m., in response to message #2 by Eric Smith This is what I love about this forum! Anywhere else on the internet this would have been a bitter exchange: "DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH MEMBER XYZ BECAUSE HE RIPPED ME OFF!!" Followed by "HEY, JERK FACE, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU FOR A WEEK." This would be followed by 300 messages from the parties involved and a crowd of onlookers. :) On this forum, we get a polite and reasonable warning about a possible problem, followed by a polite indication that it was a communication problem. You people are great :) Dave
