Title: Stiffed
Post by: mrmike on September 03, 2014, 11:07:47 AM
  If any of you know Kbshaq on this forum, tell him thank you for stiffing me. He E-mailed me requesting a copy disc for the 300GTI service manual. I mailed it right out to him in California and that's the last I heard from him. The $5.00 is no big deal, but dishonesty is.

Yeah that's not cool.
Now if I were to take it out another level unless you own the rights to said manual then distribution is also dishonest, and illegal.

Slippery slope just say'n ! ;)

Tell that to my dealer. He was glad to "distribute" to me for $20.00. The only thing I charge members for is the cost of the blank disc and postage. I'm not a crook, I'm trying to help out other members. If that's the worst thing I've done, I can live with it.

I hear you , trust me I've done far worse. Just bust'n some jewels.
I did find the "I'm not a crook" line funny.......

This thread has the potential to go nuclear! Taiwan does not recognize copyright laws, or at least didn't the last time I was there in the early 70's so the service manuals are not copyrighted. That is why MOST dealers it seems will e-mail a pdf as a freebie.

Cyclepedia is a US company, they would be pissed if they knew dealers were selling digital copies.

  Sorry I owe you a apology. I made this post when the first tape was lost somewhere. I sent it and didn't hear anything from you, so I thought you stiffed me. Turns out the tape was lost in postage. I sent you another. You paid me. All is good! Sorry about the mixup.

Given this new info. the forum moderator should delete this entire thread to preserve kbshaq's good name...

No way!
This is pure GOLD!

I'm happy to hear it sorted out. There has never once during my time here been a member that "stiffed" another member. They have all sorted out for the best.

BUT now we have a full fledged pirate on our hands... Oh the humanity! Got your foot stuck in that door did'nt ya?

I agree. It was a simple mix up that was rectified to everyones satisfaction.
Some may read the first part of this post and not the last part.
Also, I get aggravated with members jumping on mrmike.
All the man is trying to do is help other members. We should appreciate his efforts.
He is not making any money.
I wouldn't go to that much trouble for a lousy $5. , would you?.

mrmike and Kbshaq have shook hands. All is fine.

Moderators: Please delete this thread.

I didn't see this as any sort of "gang bang".
Just some good natured poking is all.

Actually Mr. Mike, can delete his posts if he likes. The option is on the top right of every post. I still think this is pure gold.

Just had to be BigMac to see the humor in all this.

All good, Mike; thus, the smiley face.  It was just a mixup - period.
thanks - the manual is amazing.
