While I do not want to get involved. I do not think this thread should be locked just yet. There is a common misconception here that we are all friends and exist in a cosy utopian environment, where we can all trust eachother and 'sure he's a sound chap I know him from the forum'). It would be great if this was true. The reality is that very few users here actaully know each other to any great degree, and while we should give people the benefit of the doubt, it is wise to be cautious of 'strangers'. A persons membership of a forum, does not necessaryily make them, sound, trustworty, honest, etc. We would all do well learn from this lesson that all is not necessarily as it seems.
I find this episode all the more disappointing as the victim in all this is Steelroe -a valuable resource and service provider whom many of us have leaned on in the past for emergency parts.
It seems to me that he is suffering non payment, or at the very least being given the run around.
Keep this thread open until it's resolved! We'd all like to hear a satisfactory explanation.
