[comp.sys.mac.system] RAY JOHNSON at GWU stiffed me!

Before Thanksgiving, I posted a note about vols 1-4 of Inside Mac for
sale.  I accepted the offer of a

	RAY JOHNSON
	at GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.

Being a trusting soul (big mistake!), I shipped the books (at my
expense) to an address in Oregon where he said he would be during
Christmas.  He would pick them up then...

Well, Mr. Johnson appears to have his copies of Inside Mac but I do
not have my payment.  It looks like I've been stiffed!

Ray Johnson, if you read this, YOU OWE ME $57.75!

I'll never sell anything on Usenet again!

I personally know Ray Johnson and find him to be a very trustworthy person.
 
Flame ON!
 
I hope that you have made an effort to contact him before defaming him in
front of the entire USENET world!
 
Flame OFF!
 
Ray is the president of our Tau Beta Pi chapter here at GWU and a member of
the technical support staff in our Computer Science department.  I find it
very hard to believe that some sort of mishap has not ocurred.
 
I will personally look into the matter!

To all Usenet readers:

I am posting this note in a separate basenote to apologize for my previous
flame of

	RAY JOHNSON
	of GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.

He has not stiffed me.  I received his check in the mail today for the correct
amount.

Like all of you, I don't like personal flames either but since I had shipped
my copies of Inside Mac to him and then followed with a letter that was never
answered, I was left little choice.

I apologize to Mr. Johnson for my flame and to all of you for having to put up
with it.
