Actually, you probably didn’t need to open that dispute as that email does belong to Simon but as you found, that is not his PayPal email. Either way you probably should remove it from your post.
People should never list anybody’s email to (even their own) in a public forum. If Simon did that at one point, he shouldn’t have.
You are right though that Simon is absolutely swamped right now and even his responses to me have dwindled to almost nothing in the last few days so I’m trying not to bug him too much. He just needs a few days to get caught up.
Edit:
I assume you now have the correct PayPal email for Simon but if not just shoot me a PM and I’ll send it to you and can help if you have any questions about the ordering process.
Oh yeah, but why stop at clear? All Convoys available in multiple colors! Although some of them won’t wear green very well, and some might not wear red all that great either. But I think most can look good in: Black, Grey, Clear, and Blue!
On second thought, if the green and red were a bit darker, earthier, they’d look good on just about any of the Convoy lights, I’m sure!
Thanks. We’ve got it sorted out for now, well, sort of. I’m still waiting for PayPal to sort things out on their end, and I’ve got Simon’s PayPal email address as well.
For those who want this, it’s probably better to ask for a PayPal invoice from Simon with your order number for the adjusted BLF discount rather than asking him for his email etc.
Also unlike any flow chart that I’ve ever seen. Maybe that’s why I just can’t make heads or tails out of them. Old fart here.
BTW TK, I didn’t mean my comment in a negative way, but the first thing I like of is VanGogh when I see them. I take it it’s a personal way to make a flow chart? (if so, then there is nothing posted re: how to read them)
Personally, I’d say it’s more of a MC Escher thing for obvious reasons. But hey, if it actually works, it works. Thinking back on the old Convoy C8 right beside me here and the day I got it, this mode swap thing isn’t that hard, and as most said here, you set it once, you set it forever.
Seriously hope I win Miller’s latest GAW so I can get one of these now!
Oh dang Jack you are right i should have do a clear C8 as price for the GAW.
Well there probably is coming another GAW in the future and will think a little longer before starting it then
Even their own? I don’t see any problems with posting one’s own address as long as one is aware of how much spam they might be inviting…
… which, admittedly, could be quite a bit.
After two and a half decades on the internet and all sorts of forums and mailing lists and newsgroups and blogs and other public discussions, I’ve got nearly 1000 unique email addresses. So I ran some numbers on the past decade of logs on my email server. Not counting work stuff, I get an average of about 900 spam messages per day, and my server fends off about 2000 more email-based bot attacks each day. Of all that, only about one or two messages per day make it through all the filters. So ~99.8% filter accuracy. If I post my address in a public place, I do it with these things in mind.
Going by volume, the biggest offenders are bots which don’t even attempt to send any messages. After that, spam bots which harvest addresses from DNS (whois) records, then public mailing lists and web sites. The next-biggest offenders are companies who sell their customer lists to advertisers, and these are usually big companies, not little ones. (One nice thing about having a thousand email addresses is I can track who sold out or who got their data compromised.) Another big source of spam is acquaintances whose accounts or computers were compromised, so their address book was harvested. And Paypal, which is its own category because they send my paypal email address to each merchant I pay through them, so a lot of people have that address and I can’t track who is doing what.
I wouldn’t want to inflict that much spammy, scammy attention on anyone who isn’t prepared to deal with it… but with the right measures in place it’s not really a problem.
