Congrats on your award, Mr. Skinner - well done.

But your courage was not in question, here. Your trustworthiness became an issue
when you claimed you had shipped a computer to a CC regular. That computer never
arrived, although you received payment for it.

You stated you "lost" the shipping receipt, or you'd post it for proof of
shipping.

You talked ALL AROUND it, but you never did the one thing needed to restore your
credibility, here. Post a copy of the shipping receipt.

Most everyone knows that the shipper can give you a copy of your original
shipping receipt, upon request. But that didn't happen, did it? Because you
never shipped that computer, after receiving the payment for it, did you?

It is your apparent lack of honesty & trustworthiness that has caused a red flag
of caution to fly.

As for your bravery and courage, again, congratulations and well done. I would
certainly say if I were about to be pulled out of a burning building, I'd worry
about my rescuer's sterling character qualities, later!

I considered this all old news, BTW, and OT except for your apparent effort to
try to organize a CC tournament in Edmonton, and your self-congratulatory posts
here in the CCC.
