What is your reason for not accepting the gentlemans' word ? Given the
circumstance that the product had been advertised at the discount price I am
much more inclined to take his word for it than yours.
This whole affair makes me more sceptical than before about doing business with
Chester. I have heard many horror stories about your service, ranging from
drivers leaving mills by the roadside to your misleading advertised equipment
specifications. Jolly glad I am to have bought my mill from Warco who have
prices just as good and outstanding service to boot.

Skeptical ? when you hide behind a silly alias and a defunct nospam
address.
Anything you say has no meaning. You could be our dog in disguise for
all we know.

Lots of people - self included - use fake addresses for posting to
newsgroups - it dramatically reduces the amount of spam. This does not
necessarily mean they are not genuine, and most such are prepared to
give a clue to their real e-mail address if it becomes appropriate.
Admittedly, using a fake name as well does not improve the picture...

This argument always puzzles me ? Why can you not evaluate a comment without a
name being attached ? If "Boo" had been replaced by "Joe Blogs" then how does
that change the value of a statement ?
Anonymity is good on usenet, because it means that it's possible to dis/agree
without stereotypes like gender, race, height, occupation etc etc affecting the
weight of the opinions.
My reason for not posting a useable email address in any form is because I want
replies to be sent to the group and so to be available to all, not primarily as
an anti-spam measure (though that does figure a bit).

Try again. You may notice that almost everyone on this newsgroup has got a
real, genuine name, not a fake name. It does you no and your opinions no
credit at all to be seen not to be honest enough to say who you are. We're
people, not avatars.
