Go ahead and post them. I want everyone to see where you stopped answering my e-mail after I asked you if you wanted to wait for the repair... I offered you that system for that price and was willing to fix it and then send it and I never said it was your offer.
I will guess that you never saved the mail I sent that went un-answered now did you. .
Short memories... Tell me why you never followed up with a response? I sent at least two e-mails waiting for a response....I am still waiting since June.
===
Please do not put words in my mouth about Birket... You are reading between your own lines...
===
I am not blowing my own horn... Where did I say I did this or that about my own accomplishments.

Was your trip(s) expensed?
