Nice apology.  Right from the heart.

Subject:    vanagon springs -  Take II

I seemed to have upset some people with my post blasting the bus depot
for trying to capitalize on the positive comments about my springs that
had been posted lately.  My apologies.  I've just had it with Ron and
his offensively aggressive and misleading marketing, be it here or on
the syncro list.

There was a time on this list where he almost got permanently booted
because of his business ethics.  That was back when he was  threatening
to sue people if they dared speak criticism about his business.  Note
that he is no longer a recommended vendor on vanagon.com.  There is a
reason for that.  Please take notice.

Ron does not know a damn thing about my springs.  His attempt to
characterize them is complete fiction, made up out of thin air.  Truth
means little to him, sales mean everything.  That is my experience in
watching him post for the last 6 years.  Others may have different
opinions, but many share mine.

It is disgusting that he tries to weasel in on the good words said about
my springs (that is the only thing i sell) and steal sales away from
me.  He's an opportunist and a slimy snake, in my opinion.  If that
makes you mad or me look bad, i'm sorry.  This used to be a community
where no one would ever do that.  Never.  For him, it's business as
usual.
