Al, it seems you've decided to use this forum to post a character assassination without getting the facts straight. I've been here a lot longer than you have and I've dealt with the members here just as long. I hold my reputation sacred and will ensure that you get your money back. You were the one who wanted me to send you the laptop prior to receiving funds and I told you that I would rather wait until I did. As I stated in my email to you before you posted here that I'm sending the full amount of your remittance back via USPS express mail and I will reiterate that I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. I did have the laptop in hand, but it was taken from my desk where I left it overnight to test it. I offered Al another laptop at half the price, but he has refused it, which is, after all, his prerogative. BTW, Al, I'll include the price of mailing me the payment in the refund you will receive. Additional details: I signed for the money order just today as it was send via registered mail. The post office has a record of that. That's the reason why I haven't been able to turn around and mail it back right away.
