I hope he tries to sue me.  The court would only order him to pay him,
which would be great.  Truth is a defense to Libel/slander.  He has had
my springs for 3 months and refuses to pay for them or return them.
Bill won't pay me for them either, at least as of today, despite his
note below.  He is paying Al for them instead.  Al never paid me for
them.

I have never had ANY problem with the 50 other people i have done
business with.  Yet I am not the first listee to end up in a mess like
this with Al.  He threatened to have Detlev arrested, to sue him, etc,
And his second engine swap also ended in acrimony.  Get your money up
front and get any deal in writing with this guy!

 steve, why are you accusing al of "making off with [your] set of rears
 [sic] springs"?

 aren't these the new rears i am getting from al and paying you for? my
 understanding is that i would get whichever set of springs (new or the
 extra set you "loaned" him) he chose not to use, and that he would give

 them to me after i paid you when i returned from england. this is my
 understanding as per our discussion over the last couple of months. am
i
 missing something?
