Let's take this thread off into an entirely different digression....

I have to differ a bit with you on this Bill. Mostly agree. There are
customers who set out to rip off retailers. Those who purchase an item
for the time they need to use it and then return it, for example.
It was not Steve it was Christian with the G11, according to the way I
read. :-)
IMO, there was no dishonesty involved.
Excuse me Sir, that’s pure bull excrement...there certainly WAS
dishonesty involved.
When the defunct camera owner said, “It just quit operating” or words to
that effect, that was an out and out lie. The implication was, “Gee, “It
was the camera’s fault or was some other unknown circumstance.“
About 20 years ago I bought a parts car for the Cortina I was racing.
The problem being that the car ran perfectly, and was actually nicer
than my racecar. I ended up selling the partscar which we "Bluefin"
because it was blue Cortuna, to my friend Craig.
Shortly thereafter, Craig's mother was visiting from out of state. A
while after that she asked about the car and Craig said, that it wasn't
running because it had a massive radiator leak. Which was a completely
true statement. He did not, however, mention that the reason the
radiator was leaking was that he had spun it into the side of a mountain
on hwy 9.
A couple hours after his improvisational customization of his car's body
work, I came home from work to see Craig and his girlfriend sitting on
the sofa in my living room. Their response to the crisis was "Let's go
see good Ol' Uncle Larry, he'll know what to do."
On the bright side, he ended up giving the car back to me, and the motor
had a lot more power than the one in my racecar, which had something
over 300,000 miles on it, and close to 100,000 since the last complete
rebuild (though I had freshened up the bearings and done a lowbucks
valve job on it).
