Seems like a no-win situation sometimes dosn't it Larry? I remember patiently trying to work out a problem with a swindler before I left neg feedback only to get slammed big time here on the board because I didn't post SOON enough to save some other poor boob! We both lost our $ and he lost a friend.

Here's a post I made about this chip. http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/tcbarc12/tcbarc12.pl?read=405136 Thanks to your post we know more about the kind of dirtball we're dealing with. Neg away, perhaps you'll save someone...maybe even that board sorehead from the sunny/snowy/rainy/cold backwoods!
