Whoa, I deleted that stuff. Please do not drag out the skeletons, my brother.
I didn't drag out anything, I just replied to what was there when i hit quote to reply.
Please go in and delete the previous edited versions.
The reason we have a post history is so people can't do that, and to preserve data.
The idea is that people shouldn't post what they don't want people to see. Most people won't use the post history, but if they want to, it's there--sorry.
Best I can say is to keep in mind that everything you post becomes part of history--once said it can't really be unsaid, just like in conversation.
When I wrote that, I was upset about a delay in getting a response. I felt better after purchasing a replacement motor from ebikes.ca, after which I did receive Ilia's response as per Murphy's Law.
Oh, I understand being upset; I've been (very) upset over delays in things before, too--a similar situation for me was when someone else uninvolved with the company I ordered from held up my order for stuff to get CrazyBike2 back on the road after teh housefire, when I'd been talking to that person about a separate future project I had thought totally unrelated that they were considering donating to.... It was a complicated situation but the order got worked out eventually and got the bike back on the road. (but it caused me to think about how things were with the person...and led to a break with them eventually).
GIven that the only other transport I had at the time was the unstable Delta Tripper, or catching rides with Bill, and I was not long out of my burned house at the time, still mightily upset about losing all the dogs and not completely rational at the time, I probably freaked out more than is reasonable at the delay. :/
So, upset, I do understand. :|
