[ot]Airing out the dirty laundry (my first quarter rant)
Dang, who dredged up this old topic & why ???
Maybe it will be obvious when I read the previous
messages. I should probably do that before sending
this but I'm throwing caution to the wind.
Yes, Dirk DID THE RIGHT THING. I felt badly for airing
out our not_so_dirty laundry on this list. He sent me
the money back and sent a new lens. I sent thim the
bad one back by ship and it ought to be there by now.
He paid me for the light with Euros and I made some
money on that deal. The Euro is even stronger now
against the dollar. I gave the Euros to my Mom cause
she never saw that money before. Anyway he is a great
seller and a very big asset to the rocco community.
Dirk, I am sorry for doubting you and making our
business public. Thanks for taking care of the issue
we had.
As an aside, look what I won on eBay:

I might or might not keep it. A list will get the
first shot at it.
