[neonixie-l] Re: Anybody heard from David Forbes lately?
His other option, a much better option, as I stated previously, is to pick up the phone and CALL. It's not hard, it's effective, and it's private. Mort never called. Did it occur to him that David might not be reading this newsgroup regularly? A public lambasting should absolutely be the last resort. People like David are providing a valuable service. Do you want them to continue to do so? A great way to push folks like him out of the business is to publicly humiliate them. You only have to kick a dog a couple times and he won't come around you any longer.

If he wasn't getting responses from david, there's really nothing else he could have done. I'm glad that his watch got shipped, but come on, as he said, it seems there was not enough communication going on. I would have done the same thing, in fact I think mort's been surprisingly patient. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

You're right -- I'm done on this topic. Your vitriolic response has completely proven my point. On Feb 28, 7:34 am, Mort ml.deni...@comcast.net wrote: OK, Terry. That's about enough. I emailed. I posted to the group. I could have spent some of my time hunting a phone number. I could have mailed a letter. I could have sent a telegram.

Terry, not cool. What's gotten into you? I believe you owe Mort an apology after that attack. Nick, I think this thread has run it's course.

[neonixie-l] Re: Anybody heard from David Forbes lately?
I hear that David might have some help assembling watches now. I know he has trouble working on stuff when he has new ideas in his head, and he's had a very big new idea in his head for a while now. Being his identical twin, I have a vague idea of how his mind works. I have the same problem. Jim Forbes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

[neonixie-l] Re: Anybody heard from David Forbes lately?
Clearly I was worried about my watch. Another member suggested I post a message here to see if I could get some sort of response since email didn't produce any results. I have no knowledge of his business nor what his workload is. My only knowledge is ordering from his website and seeing his posts here. My apologies to Mr. Forbes, however some communication would have avoided this situation. On Feb 27, 10:05 pm, Terry S tschw10...@aol.com wrote: I'm sorry you felt the need to post this on the list, too. This is a situation between you and David. There is no need to air your issues here. No need to publicly disparage David and Cathode Corner. You claimed to be worried about David and his business, but clearly you were only worried about your watch. If you couldn't get ahold of David by email, you certainly could have looked up his number and called him. It took me all of 15 seconds to find his number online: (520) 795-7xxx No doubt David is working hard to support his customers, new and old. He's a one man band. Give him a break. We had another supplier on this list a few years ago who truly was a deadbeat, people are still bemoaning the loss of their deposits on a certain clock. The whole affair got very tiring and distasteful. People were darn near calling for his lynching. Let's not go down that road again.

Hi David, I'm glad to see you're all right. I was worried about you and your business. Please let me know what went astray in the watch.

Resetting the watch by pulling the battery didn't work. I returned it under warranty. After several emails to David in the first part December, he let me know he was rearranging his shop and that he'd get to it in a week. Several emails to him in January went unanswered.

Did you try a new battery? With typical use, they only last about 6 months in that watch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

A new battery was the first thing I tried.
