I'm struck by the word until in that statement. Do you mean to imply that you dealt with him dishonestly at some point in the exchange between the two of you? Are you implying that his suspicion about your intentions or his lack of response is reason on your part to stop dealing "above board" with him? Please clarify.
I dealt with no one dishonestly at ANY point about anything. And when it came up as ME being in the “mistake zone” I admitted it freely and fully.
How can you deal with anyone at all in any manner when they refuse to respond to written correspondence? Forgive my poor choice of words, I didn’t say too much of anything until it was apparent Polarik wasn’t responding to the near dozen images I subsequently sent him. Not a word, then or now. At that point I felt not only betrayed for trying to help him, but hung out to dry BY him.
I did NOT do anything wrong, nor did I deliberately mislead anyone. As SOON AS I have evidence of my mistake I posted it and owned up to it and apologized, which is better than I have gotten from several posters on this thread.
