  1. 2-4 days after an issue is first brought up in this thread sounds reasonable, no? It's not about how long you've been waiting for a response to your PMs, it's how long we give people a chance to respond here. Again, it's not about casting doubt on you individually, I have no reason to do that of course. I agree. You could have and should have brought this up months ago. Once you decided enough is enough a few days should pass for the other party to present their side. Clearly the buyer looks foolish for his bravado when he is clearly in the wrong. So did you burn the fukin books? ::
  2. Thanks for filling in the blanks and responding to my post. Your taking the time to provide so much info is defintiely appreciated. I am thinking about switching over to Gerbers for my keeper books...it would be a pricey proposition but definitely considering it (thumbs u With all the drek you buy Heath, the Gerbers would be more valuable than the books! ouch baby, very ouch I'm just looking for negative attention.

  4. Keep picking at the scab with these ridiculous posts. On principle, I will purposefully not buy your product.
  5. pH of totally pure water = 7.............dependent on temp. Pure water pH, the distilled you used, is easily changed as it has almost no buffer capacity. CO2 in the air bonds with the distilled water so pH is changed. Possibly, with inside air, into the acidic 5 range. The dye in the pHydrion pH pencil is acid/base and is enough to alter the results of pure water. Just say'n it's not that easy. Fancy words and numbers!
  6. I have zero background in any science fields and barely passed my Chemistry Regents but can cobble together, with my limited brain capacity, what everyone is trying to express that BCW is clearly not getting. No confusing numbers or fancy words needed. The Gerber boards don't show acid absorption because they work better, for a longer period of time, than your boards do. If you extend the time period of the study to X years eventually the Gerber boards will have a high acid ph like yours did in a much shorter period. That's all that is needed folks. You actually need more, ok. If I took two boards, one with no coating and your board with coating, and compared them in 6 months, and the results showed the uncoated board as having a high acid ph and your coated board was still neutral would that mean the uncoated board was working better than the coated, which is your contention, or would it show that your coated board was still absorbing acid effectively hence the neutral ph, which is everyone else's contention? I have no horse in this race one way or another but if you come on here and try to defend yourselves by repeating what is clearly an illogical conclusion, you are turning me off by insulting my intelligence. I actually use your boards for my everyday books but since you refuse to recognize your place in the hierarchy of archival protection, maybe I'll switch.
  7. I know FT came up with a unique situation in this case. He essentially offered his blessing for the probation lister to engage in transactions with his approval. Then when he received confirmation that a certain number of deals went off without problem he removed the boardie from the list despite the item being sold to another party long in the past after the initial failed deal. As for a seller who has become completely inactive...I am sure the collective braintrust could come up with some sort of idea if it was a first time offender and there appeared to be a genuine desire to correct the previous bad acts. A wet noodle flogging line.
  8. While on the topic. Buyer posts a in a thread, yet doesn't complete the transaction and is placed on the probation list. After X amount of time he wants to make amends but the seller resold the book. If the transaction cannot be completed how does the buyer ever get off the probation list?
  9. Those should go straight into the WTT section, I'm sure someone will offer some sweet books for those I've got a Tales of Suspense 39 we can trade. Old Joke. Yeah but it was a 50,000 dollar show car. ::
  10. Well he hasn't posted in about a month and that is usually the length of service in Habitat for Humanity when rebuilding villages in Darfur, so you may be feeling pretty foolish when he gets back.
  11. You know we will all say yes so let me cut to the chase. 1. Did you contact through PM/Email or any other method? 2. Did the person ever respond and give an excuse? 3. Let it rip.
  12. Rim licking cohorts is my favorite line. ::
  13. That's why I stopped licking poles.
  14. You could send Arch a PM and run this by him. Done & done. While your at it, ask him to ban GGA_Fan. Which one of you two licks rims? ::
  15. So he is just deleted out of existence?
  16. I am truly sorry for what happened. That is just about the worst thing you can do to someone who's on active duty protecting their country. Not taking comics, I meant the betrayal. I think it is awesome that you took back control, albeit it in a untraditional manner, :: but if it makes you feel good that's all that matters! (thumbs u You don't look a mess, so as long as you keep the ladies out of your apartment, you should be perfect.
  17. Holy mess!!!!! Is there a story that goes along with this or what? That is one of the coolest and craziest things all rolled into a bundle of win.
  18. Just under 26 posts a day, seven a days a week, 52 weeks a year, for three years and running. They can say lots, but nothing about your commitment.
  19. If I hadn't gotten my first order, I would swear your aren't keeping track of any of this and are just screwing with us! ::
