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. David
