Default RE: Off-topic: Am I wrong here?

Years and years ago, BI (Before Internet, etc.) I exchanged several actual letters with a person in England. He expressed interest in a K&B Greenhead I had and I agreed to swap it for some diesel that he had. I packed my engine up and sent it off as agreed. I never heard from him again - even after many tries. The kicker was that the reason I had some faith in this individual was because I had seen, and liked, some design articles that he had published in the British magazine that I subscribed to back then. I debated sending a letter of complaint to that magazine's publisher but talked myself out of it since it was a he-said-she-said situation and what could they do anyway.

The point of my rant is that sometimes you just have to suck it up, be the better person, ya da ya da - but NEVER forget ! (pant, pant, wheeze)
