started into John P for his shipping practices and then his feedback, I read his feedback as well as the feedback of those that left negatives for him to get a "feel" for those people as well (just bored one night, I guess). And in your feedback was the one from Tom Edwards and it caught my interest because Tom is someone with whom I have done many successful deals (including our first one where he said he sent a chip, I didn't believe him because after six weeks it hadn't arrived, he couldn't replace it because it was somewhat unique but offered a full refund and was set to mail it just as the post-machine mangled bubble mailer arrived -- post marked the day he had said he sent it).

To me, feedback history is important (both as a buyer and seller) so I try to do my homework. My original question was your definition of feedback ransom, which you answered. I asked nothing about your policies and I don't really care about them. It was John P's policy of not giving feedback until he got his that I don't care for. And when I deal with John P in the future, I will keep that in mind.

In my prior post, I asked about THIS particular feedback and why and I now better understand why. Steve Bedo
