Aman Goldeneraguy!

I sent my regard to the owner of Amtrans in Tokyo immediately after the earthquake/tsunami, whom I purchased parts from for most of my projects. I finally got a reply from him 3 days later. (Normally he replied me immediately or within 6-8 hours, the latest.) I took the liberty to share the email with all of you:

(At that time, the nuclear plants were still under control.)

I feel that the Japanese are a very grateful people. He is just a normal citizen and not any ranking government official, but the first thing that came out of his mind was to represent his country to thanks us for the help. This make me so proud of our country, and especially to the military. We should be thankful everyday for our lives and families that we have in this country. Yes, we should also remember the people in Japan in our pray as they are recovering from this tragedy. God bless America...

Tthean , Thank you for sharing your thoughts and words

Amen....

Grannyring: Usually I value your perspective but in this case I can't dissagree with you more. These guys here beat the hell out of me, I move forward with efforts to resolve my last problem (you know be part of the solution and all) and you complain about that's adding fuel to the fire?

Gallant_diva, I'll address the statements from you/Paul when I get home this weekend. If I can find them, I'll pull the two shipping receipts with Paul's Fedex number so we can put that one to bed. "Happy Christmas"? I'm sure I did not say that but I'll try to get to the bottom of that lie as well.

So are you the next TRL attack dog coming after me? Let me say this again. I have chosen not to work with TRL going forward. I made that decision a long time ago for the reasons already stated. I want nothing and expect nothing from them. So take your spin and talking points somewhere else please.
