<< All the people on these pages are wrong? You're right. I don't really know
why I'm sending you this. I mean our deal is something of the past. I just
find it amusing to now see all this stuff about you.
  
...the pages that u refer to ..are indeed wrong.. yes...
there isnt one person on there who has actually had any personal deal
with me and not one who has personally experienced any sort of ripping off
or being stolen from by me..
the pages are the creation of a couple of idiots who have little else to do
than try to impress their friends and class mates in school and otherwise..
i dont even know 90% of them... and have no clue what they have against
me or why they are harassing me... i have never even heard of most of them..
a good portion of the postings in the newsgrps are fake and were posted
by others who have figured out how to troll... i didnt know what this was
til a few months ago.. when i saw some postings that i knew i hadnt made..
and they had my name sometimes correct sometimes slightly off.. but
always made to appear to be mine... i heard there is a way to tell.. but
since im on aol i dont have the ability to troll or so interesting things with
screen names etc.. or the net or newsgrps.. etc..
that sort of stuff is done by those more familiar with the net.. aol for me
is mostly just chat rooms.. trading boards and dealing business.. some
times even looking for a few friends or love interests..
i have been online since march of 94.. trading and dealing tapes and
cards since about a year or so ago.. and i had no problems at all with
anyone in any of my dealings til about july or so of this year.. when
i attempted to trade with someone who contacted me about a plant
page concert.. that he had and that he wanted.. the deal never went
thru and it was cancelled before either of us sent anything.. i since
got the tape he offered me from another source.. and he has led a
one man crusade into harassing me.. the page he created and some
of his friends became the bandwagon jumpers... for them its a game
or a joke.. but for me its quite serious.. since it has caused undue
stress on me.. and made some of my sales and trades a bit harder..
but i maintain that i have never ever ripped anyone off...

 Another thing: Why if you "have no use for" my tape, did you (I think maybe
it was your wife) try to sell it to me about a week ago?

...i have it sitting here and as u should have figured out .. i didnt realize
that u were referring to the south africa show but i thought u were talking
about south america.. which is what i thought when i saw SA .. it was
an honest mistake.. when i realized this i wrote u another letter..
to explain... i offered to sell it to u.. not realizing who u were.. since i
didnt
notice the name.. just the actual letter..
i have no use in the actual tape u sent.. but as u know i got the south africa
tape from another source... its on a 160.. and has live aid 85 on the end of
it.. i sell that one.. and thought u wanted that one or the south america one
til i figured out who u were.. and emailed u immediately afterwards..
i see nothing wrong with offering u or anyone else who is interested in the
pal tape u sent me at my normal prices... since i have it and will sell it
to anyone who wants it... as i told u.. i have no use in it... i cant use
pal..
but i assume that the show is on there.. since i am sure u did record it..

I mailed you and told you about a guy in Fort Collins, CO who wanted the tape
and could convert it to NTSC. And you replied by saying he could buy it from
you. Then you do have something to do with my tape.
  
...yes that would be no problem.. if he wants it.. he can have it from me
as long as he sends me something in trade for it...
my deal was not with him.. it was with u... if he wishes to have the tape
i will of course be willing to trade it to him... or sell it to him..
i own the tape and will either send it back to u for the postage since the
original deal is with u... or i will use it in trade with someone else
who can use it.. but one way or the other i will have to get either a show
i need or the postage from u and u only.. for its return...

 Like I said, we are something of the past. I just find all this about you
really amusing. I don't want or need my tape back. >>

...people are amused by things that about as significant as they are..
thats an alternate way of saying..
people are as big or as little as the things that upset them...
but i put my own spin on it.. im sure u understand...

thank u for not wanting or needing ur tape back.. i will hold onto
it til someone does...
