-
- Here is my reply to Mr. Porter just as it was E-Mailed to him a couple
- of minutes ago.
-
- 1. It was crossposted automatically to every newsgroup that you had
- listed in your original post.
-
- 2. Maybe you had better do some investigating on your own and find out
- how Mr. Suh and you are posting verbatim articles.
-
- 3. If you are not watching the posts in all of the news groups you do
- business in, and you have been around as long as you say, then you are
- not doing your job.
-
- 4. I sent a copy to you E-Mail because I wanted you to be aware of my
- post. If I wanted to accuse you and really destroy you I would not
- have given you that courtesy.
-
- 5. I don't know you but I do know that someone is playing a game. If
- Mr Suh is using your posts to try and rip people off then you had
- better do something about it. If he is legitimate then you are in
- trouble because his POSTED prices beat yours by serious dollars.
-
- 6. The fact that you answered my post tells me that I am doing
- something right in trying to get to the bottom of any possible
- rip-off. I don't care if you resent any of what I said. The fact is
- you didn't even see Mr. Suh's post in the first place
- (misc.forsale.computers.monitors 2/26/96) and that says something
- about how you do business. The two articles are exactly alike except
- for the prices. If you are the one who is being wronged here how is it
- that someone like me has to bring it to your attention. Doing a search
- on "Samsung" would have brought it to your attention, and if you are
- not watching the areas you post in for content, you are beat.
-
- See YA,
-
- John.
-
- PS. I have MC/Visa and AMEX affiliation, and it wasn't that hard to
- get. On top of that there are people posting on usenet that are
- offering to process anyones credit card deals with no questions asked,
- just very high fees.
