Mark,

Although unsatisfied with the responses to my posting
I had decided to leave it until yours.

Let me make a few things clear:

I do not use any anti spam software and therefore screen
all e-mails myself. The problem is increasing in the
UK but is not desperate yet. Although when people post
your actual e-mail address in a reply it may well get
worse (thanks Richard).

“Using return receipts are part of the solution, although
it's easy to turn these off in the receiving email
client.”
This is no solution whatsoever.

“I suspect you're miffed about not being able to buy
the LNAV, but to be fair it's not as though you had
sent money and were waiting for the goods.. In my
view it's perhaps a little bit of an over-reaction
to post here... ? especially since Richard has pointed
out that it was your mail provider bouncing his replies
to you...”

Too right. It was on the web site for sale. However
as I said in the first posting:
“Fair enough, admit it was already sold and the web
site was out of date. I would live with that. But don't
just change the site and not reply to the e-mail.”
I might add that Richard isn’t afraid of using this
forum to advertise his products and should therefore
live with the criticisms. I fully support the few people
who put so much effort into our sport ands welcome
the odd advert to let us know what is out there.

Re my e-mail provider bouncing messages:
If it does happen then I am not aware of it with my
ISP. I have always received e-mails (however unpalatable).
I run a gliding newsgroup and get e-mails from all
over the world and have NEVER had anyone say their
e-mails had not got through.

I have purchased two similar vario’s from the USA one
from Tim Mara at Wings and Wheels and one privately.
Both have been exceptional, communicative and fair
in their dealings.

I am sure that Richard will have lots of satisfied
customers who will spring to his defence. But in this
case his response served only to ensure I wouldn’t
make the effort again.

Regards

Andy

Looked OK to me, but some guys just look for an excuse to pick a fight.

I'll be happy to take AH's place on Richard's customer list. I'm on my way
to browse his site now.

You know what really ****es me off more than that darn Richard @
Cranky Arrow, is that whipper snapper Tim @ Wings and Wheels havin
all those "used instraments" for sail that are already sold !!!
Listen Tim, can you here me now ? Here's whatcha gotta do buy a half
a dozen of those Sage CVA vario's put um into some of those 304 cz's
you're tryin to push on everyone, (I know you need the tax write off)
run them about 10 hours and take um out and call me first and sell me
one for ummmmm about 8 uh, no $600 bucks. but call me first, you know
how bad I need/want one.

I actually do have other used instruments here that also do not make it onto
my USED instruments page...many are not suitable to be re-sold, some need
parts or repairs, some just too obsolete to offer.....but when I have these
in serviceable condition they will make it onto my page.just keep watching
there..
I also do have several (Many, many ) new instruments in stock...nearly
everything on my web pages is in stock and can ship immediately...this is, I
am certain, the largest inventory of glider accessories anywhere...please
take some away!
