Huh?  Say  What???

I have  had noting  but  good  dealings   with  DON MERTZ and on top of 
that  he  graciously  contributed some TV studio Camera  documentation to    
the SMECC  MUSEUM..

Ron  -  on  email issues  email is  not  a  100 %   thing things  get  lost 
 things   bounce   sometimes when people  clean  the  email boxes  they 
accidentally  kill stuff... ( I killed  200  messages  dead  dead  dead  one  
time)    and some times server do not talk well together...  there have been 
times I  have emailed  you and gotten no reply unless I post it   to the  p
ublic  list.

Mike--   seriously  you left it sit there  2   years!? I had that happen 
only once  when we had the computer  business....  but that  guy had  died  so 
 he  had  an  excuse

Whoa. I  never stole $800 from Mike. Period. This is absolutely untrue. But 
as usual in  these cases. there is a story here--I'll let you be the judge.
Mike bought  a big heavy radio from me about 3.5 years ago. It has its own 
gas generator,  heavy cables, etc., and positively cannot be economically 
shipped. He said he  would pick it up "next month". It was summer time. I am 
hugely busy with work  every summer and I lost track of the transaction. He 
never called nor made any  attempt to contact me. Meanwhile, I foolishly let 
all record of the  transaction roll out of my email and I didn't even know 
who had bought the  radio by the time winter rolled around and I realized the 
radio was still  here. Sounds crazy, but I didn't even know who to contact 
about the radio. And  I had no idea why he wasn't making any attempt to 
contact me. 
After  TWO YEARS, Mike calls me and says he is ready to pick up the radio. 
By this  time I had moved and paid professional movers to move the damn 
thing. And I  was pissed. I am NOT A STORAGE SERVICE. So I said, sure come and 
pay me $20 a  month for the storage and pick up your radio. And then I never 
heard from Mike  again....until he posts this backhanded, malicious slur 
here today--18 month  later.  
At this point, it is sitting here 3.5 years since Mike said  he would pick 
it up. I am not using it and can't in good conscience sell it.  So here it 
sits because MIke doesn't want to pay what I consider to be a fair  storage 
fee, to say nothing of the moving cost. Am I out of line here? Did I  steal 
$800 from Mike? Or did he abuse me by not meeting his original  commitment to 
pick up the radio and then vanishing?
Over the last 15 years  that most of you have known me, plenty of people 
have bought things from me  and waited months to pick them up. But they have 
always stayed in touch and in  many cases, paid me a storage fee out of 
simple gratitude. Mike thinks storage  at other people's homes is free I guess. 
Anyway, pretty delightful  stuff huh? I never stole $800 from Mike or 
anyone else. And I resent this lie  showing up in a public forum with no 
explanation when he has done nothing to  resolve this issue for the last 3.5 years.
As Paul Harvey used to say, now  you know "the rest of the story."

Don has his issues. He stole $800 from me. Be  cautious. 73 - Mike

Don, you advertized a piece of  Clough-Brengle test gear a couple weeks 
ago, I replied to your ad both here  and to your email, I would have been 
really nice to at least get some kind of  response to my message? 
I guess you're just too  busy.

everything  else.
