You did right, Shel... That bum knows USPS MO is NOT the same as WU MO. He just wants his way. Chinese Red is not t***y pink. Let it play out the way you've outlined above. If he refuses to play it honestly, let it go. Let him complain. You were quite clear, HE tried to get around the "rules." There *IS* no fraud. That's mouth music, intended to intimidate. Very politely, tell him to STUFF IT! ;-) keith whaley (Sent *my* USPS M.O. off this morning!) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
