From my understanding of some of the earlier messages on this subject, I assume
he got some emails returned.

I'm not even sure there is anything to write in email. The last conversations
were here at this board. Peter Skinner says he sent the computer and it was
signed for. Pete Galati says he never signed for any computer and he don't have
it. The last time the subject came up here it seemed and still seems simple to
simply post the receipt on a website.

I think if any of us was in Pete Galati's position we would feel the need to
grieve whenever we saw a post from the person who we felt had treated us
unfairly. Also as I recall (though I could be wrong) Peter Skinner made this for
sale computer offer here at CCC.

Well I have had an argument with Pete Galati but that says nothing of him being
a person in good standing and of a good reputation. Since I started coming to
CCC I can honestly say IMO Pete Galati is no trouble maker. And I, like I'm sure
most of the regular posters here have a very good opinion of him.

I equally have nothing to do with it, except for the fact that I see Pete Galati
as getting the short end of the stick. It is so so easy to simply post a copy of
the receipt and end forever this whole issue.

Can't you as a friend of Peter Skinner's just ask him to post a copy on a
website? it is really such an easy thing. And once done Peter's Skinner's
standing as an honest individual would go up.

Were I in your position and the shoes were reversed, I would myself make every
effort to prove my friend right, even were my friend upset at the whole
situation that had developed. I like I'm sure most of the others that have read
this saga since it's beginning would like to see it end, but I'm also certain
that most would like to see it end in a positive light.
