[Premium-Rx] My Continuing Steve Pappin WJ-8711A Issues

[Mark Rauchfuss]

Hi All,

I have no skins in this game, but have a few thoughts to offer, as follows;

 - It is possible that Steve has fallen ill or had an accident or is
otherwise detained by unknown events.

 - Maybe someone did accept the RX at his shop on his behalf, and that
person does not have access to his email, that he is out of the loop, and
that no-one is able to respond (thus, an open loop).

I was born hard-wired, and used to be biased to act, and many, many times
in my career and life I have acted prematurely. As I have gained
experience, reflected, and refined my act, in most situations I now ask: Is
there anything to be lost by waiting and giving it time to see how things
play out. In recent years, this approach has worked out pretty well for me.

Look, it is a hobby. Try to keep things in perspective.

73, and good will to all,

Mark,
N7MSR
