Man, go out for a day and see what happens...
Neil, I'm sad you didn't reply to my post. I hope Sal's friendship is worth the price you continue to pay. While you have an extreme risk of guilt by association as long as you run with him, I hope that everyone remembers that it's been a LONG time since anyone came here to complain about a deal with you.
Sal couldn't care less (and THAT is the phrase, Sal, not "could care less"), so I won't bother addressing him.
I know nothing about Tom Crutchfield first hand, so I'll not touch it.
Lynn (Coach) got drug through the mud over allegations that Haney made. Even though the way in which Haney went after Lynn was more harmful to Haney himself than Lynn, it made Lynn crazy. I can understand why...he watched post after post accuse him of having an infected collection, and then Daniel Haney walked away without showing a shred of proof. Lynn has not done anything to anyone to get involved in this crap, and I implore everyone to leave him out of it.
Look folks, if you review every damn thread on Sal, you get the same thing:
A) Sal screws people
B) Neil tries to mediate
C) Sal makes either an apology or an attack
D) Nothing changes
Let it go. Sal is Sal. He will do good deals. He will resort to what he always does when his back is against the wall, and another round of folks will get burned. Those unfortunates will come here, and it will start again. The screwed-over will never be compensated. Neil will always think Sal is straightening out. Sal will pretend he learned a lesson, run away without cleaning up his mess, then start over thinking he'll never be in another situation like the LAST one that caused a meltdown.
It's a holiday weekend, folks. Give it a rest, throw a steak on the grill, grab a beer (or if you're me, a diet Pepsi) out of the fridge, and be grateful for a beautiful day, ok?
