To the Board: As you all know I made a grave mistake in identity between two
"Robs", one of whom is a regular contributor to this board, and one of whom
ripped off a friend of mine for significant money. Rob Mallet wrote me to
correct the misunderstanding, which he did in a polite and gentlemanly manner.
I
apologized profusely for the misunderstanding (three separate times) and was
forgiven.
Since that time, I have been bullied and harassed by a member of this board
(who
I have never seen participate in anything), who declared himself judge, jury
and
executioner and has been demanding that I make a public apology. I told him
that
I had apologized to Rob Mallet (I thought my apologies were public; turns out
Rob had written me off list so the responses were private) and that it was none
of his business to which he responded "When you shoot your mouth off on a
forum,
YOU make it my business and everyone elses. If you're going to do it publicly
have the guts to apologize publicly. Remember, I wrote you privately, not on
the forum where I probably should have."
I forwarded to him my apologies to Rob from my home computer at lunchtime.
Later
in the after noon he wrote "Cute answers but I still don't see anything
public...". I informed him I was on a government computer at work and could
not
use it for private use, and to get off my back, to which he stated "Hasn't
stopped you so far". I was answering that email on my cellphone.
I don't want to continue this subject but I am being forced to. No one else has
demanded a public apology, everyone seemed to understand that it was a mistake
not made maliciously, and in fact the thread had died out. Again, as I thought
the apologies I did make were public, I didn't give it a second thought.
But since this person has nothing better to do than appoint himself the Emily
Post of the board, and seems to be obsessing on this, (and since I planned a
public apology this evening anyhow) I publicly apologize to Rob Mallet for the
mistaken identity issue that took place on this board yesterday, and I thank
him
for his gracious reply (sent to me privately).
End of subject.
John Robles

I have to chime in here and say I've known Rob for many years and he's a
stand-up guy. Regarding the reproducer John refers to, it sounds like an
unfortunate situation, but it must be some kind of mix-up. Rob works
ridiculously long hours, there are whole periods of time I can't reach him
because he's so busy. I don't know what happened regarding the reproducer, and
I
can see why John is upset -- but the Rob I know is not a crook and not even
close! Rob subscribes to this list, so I know he is reading this stuff. So,
there's my two cents......
Best wishes to all, Tim Fabrizio.

Steve -
It is edisoniareco...@yahoo.com. Did he rip you off too? A friend of mine ( a
known researcher and author) ordered a CAT reproducer from him something like
five years ago, and Rob cashed the check (over $200) and never sent the item.
My
friend told me about it recently and I told him I had Rob's email address and
would mention it, and I got this email back from Rob saying that he had the
reproducer but had never mailed it because he got divorced and had to move and
he lost the address in the move. So I am all happy, thinking I am going to get
my friend's reproducer. I gave him the mailing address, and he never sent it. I
have written him three or four times since then and never received a response.
So I guess he's just another crook. If you ask me, he committed mail fraud by
advertising the reproducer, accepting the order, cashing the check and never
shipping the product.
