[ot]Airing out the dirty laundry

Ohh no..I would want the same thing. Yes if he was not so high on the lists
preferential people you could have some nice person on the list go to his
house and break his legs ( I live in PA and offer this service for listers).
I think if he does not give you your money or the right part you are not
going to even have a forum here. you better find another area he has not
dominated. You will just end up banned for life from the list. Not that you
are wrong I am sure you are telling the truth. He will not be talked about
badly here mark my word. When the going gets tough those who have kissed
still smell like shit :)
