To the list administrator.

This fellow had not pmailed, called or anything.......when you get a payment
from paypal it shows in your inbox as coming from the person that sent it.
I sent this ma$250US, have a receipt, and now he is selling the stuff to
someone else accusing me of everything, and does not have the decency to
pmail or call me.  He has my address which was private and not for the world
to know, and all he has to do is call directory assistance for the phone
number.

I only had one email address for him and it is the one I used.  If he
s=wished me to use another, I did not have it.

How dare this man accuse me of fraud, and banishment, police, etc.  I just
want my stuff and an apology.  If anyone should be banished it is him for
assuming.  As an old odd couple episode showed.....when you assume you make
an ass out of up and me.
