Why bother?

Thats rubbish .... A good deed that deserves at least a thank you

You definately deserved a thankyou as you have gone out of your way to be helpful. Trouble is you've helped the unknown seller as much as the buyer

Was it the chainset from this thread?

top marks for holding a staggering faith!
even at this stage you are keeping your cool whilst sharing the frustration.
its a real bummer when you feel you have done a good turn only for others to take it all so lightly.
on a human/moral level you have triumphed!!

I'm not surprised at all. People have no manners on here at all. So treat as i'm treated.

Really?

I've found that people or here are great, very friendly and helpful.

Comparatively speaking, this members of this board are MUCH more civil than most bike boards. If you want to see a forum where coats and manners are left at the doorstep, you gotta check out this bike forum: http://f88me.com/ :shock: :roll:

At first I thought from the posts I read there, that the site was frequented only by children in the 7th grade (or less), but then I realized it wasn't. :cry: I guess I'm not masochistic enough to enjoy or comprehend how the incessant insults on that board complement mountain biking. It's clear however, that I'm not the only one who doesn't see the connection - thankfully, there aren't many regular posters on that forum.

I think your experience was, hopefully a one-off or maybe something happened in their personal life that makes them unresponsive?

Thanks for the kind words guys
Not going to name the person (bloody roadies ) but nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is no way to behave.
Got to say that this is the first time that anyone from this forum has been anything but 100% genuine with me

Quite rude....surprising really

I have to say, compare with many other forums I've used, this place is very friendly - one of the things I've found refreshing about it.

Don't let one incident of rudeness poison the well.
