Subject:Chris Turner: Person, Vendor, Listemember
From:Paul M. Hillbish

Now this has become a rather large discussion as usual of people choosing
sides against a list vendor. some support, some try to burn down. Just a
question since I have not yet seen a response from him. Did anyone ask him?
You speak about him as if he's an object here to serve you and nothing else.
come on people. He's a human being. People make mistakes, and no one is
perfect. he sells used parts. Everyone knows that. Personally, I have spoken
to him on a few occasions about parts he had that I needed. Unfortunately, my
wallet did not agree with me getting these parts. We spoke about a few of
them, and he was willing to cut me a deal on them. Then my luck turned, and I
lost a vehicle for a while, and then went broke again. I still have yet to
get that item from him, but in every conversation I've had with him, he was
helpful, kind, and understanding of my situation. I would not expect any part
that is used to be in perfect condition. I would expect it to be used, not
new. If I wanted new, I could pay a lot more and get it that way. I can't
afford to do that, so I would use Chris. I would have no problem in dealing
with him, and I would also refer him to people that I know to be looking for
used parts. But once again, a rant has started about someone who is offering
a service to the list. If all you want to do is complain about something,
then don't get involved. You knew that the part would be used. He stated in
every ad that he posts "Used" It sounds to me like someone had a bad day, and
decided to vent his anger and blame Chris for everything. I don't think
that's fair, or right. Again, did you stop to ask him before trying to burn
him down?

One other thing: I noticed earlier tonight a post that was originally done
off the list. If it is posted off the list, should logic not then say that it
is a private conversation not to be shared with the list? Just my opinion.
