Did we get all the old edriver threads because she/he went through and deleted them??? Just wondering--I have a bunch down at the bottom of my 'new messages' and the original message has been deleted. That's the only thing I could see that would bring them into new messages.

Just noticed the same thing. I'm certain it's because edriver deleted them. My question is 'Why did edriver delete them?' Hopefully the explenation isn't bad news.

It is bad, bad, news I am afraid. His wagon has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom in C&D. No wonder he is upset!!!

i'm really missing his cute posts, Poppi. i kept waiting to see yet another use for his barrels! Have you seen his home page? It's very sad. i have *no* idea what is up.edriver posted Wed, 28 March 2001 at 9:08 PM
For those concerned, I have been betrayed and have had a knife twisted in my chest (symbolicly). This came at a time when I was beginning to get rather miffed about it taking now over a week to get my gypsy wagon online in the store. No items were posted to the store on Sunday nor on Monday. Only 6 items or less per day noted for Saturday and Tuesday so find it rather difficult to understand the delay. Having trusted ppl who offered to help texture the wagon only to find that a close replica of it was posted in another online store did not help matters at all when told that the admins had been contacted about getting somebody else's into the store ahead of mine. This so called "joke" I did not find humorous at all and the unsincere apology given (unsincere because it contained words like "I don't know that I've done anything wrong but...") wasn't acceptable. Since this offensive person is looked up to in great admiration by so many, may they be able to supply and share replacement freestuff items for the ones I no longer have available at this time. Perhaps given enough time I might feel like sharing again some day.

Thank you for clarifying, Eric. i am very, very sorry for your experience.

This sounds dreadful Eric - and I can hardly believe the attitude of some people at all. We can hardly blame you for feeling so incensed about this whole situation. It`s sad indeed to see what motivates some less scrupulous "artists". Hope everything settles out OK...

Somehow this all looks very familiar; I think we have been here before. Doesn't it just remind you of schooldays? "Since the child who did this bad thing has not owned up, the whole school will be punished!" Or in this case: "Since one person has offended me, I'll make sure everyone else regrets it!" I don't want to make light of Eric's complaint, which I'm sure is justified. I just want to point out the way this sort of reaction looks.

Was just about to repost when I read that, thanks for reminding me why I shouldn't.

Ugly, ugly, ugly. There seems to be a trend here that people named Eric get screwed on matters pertaining to stores.

edriver, I'm still at a loss for what's going on. Can you e-mail me privately with a bit more detail? howarths@bellatlantic.net -JH.
