Well,
That's about as rude an E-mail as I've been given and it brings fresh memories back of how you treated me when I suggested that maybe the wrong snake had been sent by mistake. You also say that I used foul langauge with you , that's something I just don't do. Why don't you come to corallus.com where all this started and read through the posts you might get a few answers. AS for why this came a year later that's quite simple, I'm a bit of caveman and didn't even know these forums existed. John Hedger turned me on to them about 3 weeks ago. Other than E-mail, checking out websites or the occasional game, I don't use this machine for much. What I described is exactly what happened, including the part about your name at the bottom of a Bronx ad. Exotics or Reptiles I made a mistake but not on the "Bronx" part. Your spotless record does have a spot. When I notified you the same HOUR the animal arrived that the animal was plainly sick you came back with the same attitude you've shown with your postings here. You did not offer to have the snake returned at your expense. That I distinctly remember, my wife too, because it was the stand out reason we felt we wouldn't get anything at all back, including an ETB.
With all the scams we, as a group, hear of I distinctly felt this was one. The animal that arrived was not the one in the picture (which had your name at the bottom and your contact E-mail), the seller got extremely (!<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
'> angry to my initial E-mails, which I always keep polite or straightforward,and left me with the feeling that if we (my Wife and I) send this person back the animal, not only would we not get back the money but that we wouldn't hear from him. The animal arrived on 04-05-01 and died on 04-19-01. spam_You stopped repling to my E-mails on or about 04-15-01. I filed a report with Kingsnake.com as well as the fraud dept of the FBI that same month, so I haven't "out of the Blue" decided to "come after you". I simply didn't know these forums you hang out in existed. If you would have been a local business I would have been at your door (of course I would have seen the snake before buying it and not bought it so none of this would have happened). I'm not expecting my money back, I never went this route with that intention, I simply intend on warning people now that I've found these forums.
Now, if in the year since this has happened you've cleaned up your act maybe we'll talk but not with that language you seem to like and we'll do it pubicly since you seem to feel the last time we conversed I was the one with the foul mouth and being unreasonable, wait, what was that wonderful word you referred to me as ... oh, unstable. I think keeping our conversations public will be for the best.
