Well Joe, 

        I've read your various comments with great interest.  As you know, I 
found
you not one but two doors on Monday, then spent a hectic hour on your
behalf to find out about shipping costs and times, and once I had given you
all the information that you asked me for you haven't even bothered to let
me know, one way or the other.  I have since had another enquiry for the
same item and have put them on hold, expecting to hear from you.

Poor Form Joe.
