^^I have no idea what to make of that.
It does however elucidate my earlier point. I have gone out of my way to not use disrespectful words towards anybody here (which makes me rather unique in this thread), and have outlined possibilities only. I *think* turbo thinks I insulted him by pointing out that the way it was shipped may have had something to do with a third party shipping it, but I have no issue with that at all. It is a pertinent fact. I'm just glad it got shipped in time, as the timeline was tight, hence my reminder.
The good news is if anybody does not like the way I post on this forum, you will soon no longer have to stress about it. I have a great sense of this community, and will react accordingly once I am sure turbografxfan has his refund.
As far as my postcount goes, all of my posts are on topic, and are clear, and contain thread related content. I moderate forums in other communities, and understand how moderation works very well. You can blame yourselves for my growing postcount. I truly could not care less. I do think obsession with postcount in this transaction (not my obsession) is a solid 33% of the problem here.
Completely fictional example of nobody, just a composite of postcount obsessed forum dwellers I've run across over the years:
"oh noes!! he only haz twenny posts! I don't undertsand the last messige I got, I must be getting SCMMMED!"
Assuming I get a negative eBay feedback after offering freebies, and refunding in full immediately (including ship $$!) with no delay or complications caused by brokerage expenses THIS THREAD will be very handy for my rebuttal.
If I get no feedback at all, (I do not want and have not earned a positive) my respect level for turbografxfan will increase in a big way from it's current level.
Of course it's his call. I'll be ok for the next 7000 transactions either way. I of course hope that he takes into account I've done everything I could except not be myself. You don't have to like someone to respect their conduct. It's a complex concept, I know.
