Hey, Neil, how are we being ridiculous?? For your information, we have spoken on the phone. However, prior to our recent contacts with one another, neither of us had heard of the other one. So, we both posted here. So what? That is what the board is for.
And, I know that you have something to say about every single thread on this board (sure seems that way to me, anyways...) I will fill you in a little bit, so that you don't jump to conclusions.
I have an ad about some ball pythons for sale. John emailed me asking if I would be interested in trading with him for some boas he has listed. Since he initiated the trade, I said that I did not want to ship first. He wanted me to ship first. So, I posted looking for any good or bad reports on him. I did not get many reports at all, so I told him that I had to stick with my original rule of not shipping first unless I knew the person. I also had that stated in my ad.
So, he then posted this thread asking about me. There is nothing wrong with that at all. I can post looking for info on him (yes, I DID do a search first), and he can of course post looking for info about me. If you think it is ridiculous, that is just too bad.
Have a nice day, Neil.
Jason Brennan
Oh, and John, you really do need to post your full name on this board.
