Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Isn’t this hobby under enough heat already? How many times do we have to go through this?

There already was a long thread about this and you even posted on it. I apologized and promised never to send snakes usps. It old history. Do a search on my name and you will see it come up.
Anyway Dan was using what he could to extort me and I was NOT about to send him two more snakes to shut him up. That would have been 5 snakes total for one that he conatced me for after he had it for 8 months.
Everything has a price. I was not willing to send Dan another pair and I had to pay the piper for it here.
Do you all see how Dan Felice was behind all this yet?

I am sorry I should have said to Dan Garcia. I guess this can be confusing with all these Dan's around here. Sorry Mr. Garcia that you share the same name as the other Dan.

Rainer,
My apologies if you were already called on that. I’m getting old (as everyone else!), and every time I here “snakes” and “USPS”, I’m set in cruise control.

I hate to make excuses for an old fella that has been around but maybe Dan Felice has a drinking problem that he needs help with. That's what it sounds like to me. I think he got Justin confused with someone after a night of boozin' it up. Forgot to feed the snake that Rainer gave him and fell off the wagon......and hit his head hard. What do you think?

Off topic.....
Dan Garcia- I dig that quote in your signature. I have known that one for years but was too lazy to find out who it was from. Now I know.

Rainer, I don't believe Dan cost you much of anything on the other threads. The posts focused more with shipping and then a debate on packaging, at least that is what I remember. In my opinion the issue with the post office cost you more than what Dan posted. I don't recall Dan starting either of threads. Am I missing another thread?
I read the other threads about Dan and have made up my own mind about what he posted on your thread. I believe if you keep to your word about the shipping you want have a problem with most here.
I just do not understand how Dan could have orchestrated all of it. It was another customer that brought it to the BOI.

All or some of that is possible but having a drinking problem is not an excuse for making threats and impersonating a police officer. Prisons, and even death rows, are full of people who committed their offenses while intoxicated with alcohol and/or illegal drugs.
However, if that is the case he needs to check into a rehab and get himself straightened out and as part of his 12 step program (should he choose that route) he would make a "moral inventory" of who he has wronged and make amends. If and when he got to that point coming here to this thread and apologizing to Rainer and to Justin would be a step in that direction. Again, it would not excuse his actions but it might explain them.

Otherwise his style and modus operandum are the same.

Stating things like " don't make me take this public", " is a frikin' single female hypo brooks worth more to you than your reputation" and " do the right thing rainer it'll be way cheaper in the long run", could be taken as threats, but could also be something stated by someone who felt they were wronged.
Ranier why didn't you post this on the BOI back when it happened?

The package came back today as an undeliverable address. I asked you for the address twice to make sure I had the correct address because of the way you wrote it all in one line.

Since I didn't see an e-mail from Dan confirming the address, is it safe to say you shipped them out without confirmation of the address?

Brett,
It’s a possible yet not excusable explanation. A possible case of TUI (Typing Under Intoxication).
