GP, perhaps it may SEEM boring BUT, as Rooster outlined, the forum guidelines stress that "disputes between members should not be made public," and the reason as we've all seen/know is that the public conflict or potential public conflict engenders not only bad blood and hurt feelings but creates an environment that prevents respectful dialogue.
Lexxy, I am sorry for the ONE KNOB who 'dropped off the face of the earth' but that was obviously HIS loss and I'm sure that he is regretting it! And if he isn't ... HE SHOULD BE!!! and hopefully he can/will make it up to you!
