It has nothing to do with the Moroccan people, just the distance and
perceptions of borders. Anyone regardless of nationality who hides
behind a keyboard thinking it provides anonymity to cover up swindling
will eventually meet their match whether it is Gary or something else.
What a chance to go unannounced and claim:
(Renault) What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
(Blaine) My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
(Renault) The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
(Blaine) I was misinformed.
And leave saying,
Hmmmm .... Morocco, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful
friendship!
PS this is a mostly a random reply as a question came up if I am still
alive ... yes - just with almost 23,000 unread list messages in the
inbox and my hands quite full

Hello All,Please be aware that the seller (Lahcenia Ait Ha or Lacenia
Ait Ha --or apparently Lahcen Ait Ha) has changed his facebook user
name and isnow going by the name Lhou Ait
Ha.http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000954047781I de-friended
the fellow some years ago because his communicationsmade me
uncomfortable. He didn't have any references, and I found anegative
past reference to him on the
list:http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg5
6009.htmlMy last communication with him was in 2010. Apparently he's
still around...Dan -- please think about what you are suggesting. Would
you say thesame thing to all US dealers if one of them was proven to
have somehowswindled people? Maybe, but I have the feeling that such a
demandwould seem a little over-the-top. You are indeed entitled to
youropinion.Regards,JasonOn Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 11:13 PM, Dan Furlan
