I think you 100% correct Neil, people that have listed something for sale should use common sence & reply to every PM regardless. They should also use the first PM takes pending rule but so many don't.

And to those people who are a no show, you should be ashamed of yourself & should realize your word means nothing.

+1.

I cut 6 frags for some people. Guess what? Three left. And I cut them by request.

That is crap.

Neal, I don't think you offended anyone. More, you opened a conversation many of us have probably wanted too.

After my last experience I decided no more fragging until person is in my home.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Not defending this cause it has happened to me so many times, it is actually funny. Just laugh it off now...as nothing surprises me on here any more.
But just for the record I never log out of Canreef.

That's actually a good point. I also don't log out most of the time. I was out of town for 10 days and still logged in while I was away

However, that's probably not the case most of the time....

The absolute most irritating thing is having someone not show up. You made time out of your day to wait around for this person, and they don't even have the decency to call and say they've changed their minds.

I haven't encountered this on canreef yet but on Kijiji, wow. Too many times than I care to share.

And to the OP, I can relate. I got shunned from the same ad as you

I'm probably guilty of not always replying to PM's in a timely manner. I always try to eventually answer every one but even still, sometimes you're waiting on someone else to commit before you even know what to tell others. Sometimes you're just not at the computer. Also, if you reply to each and every PM as they come in you'll be sitting there online typing reply after reply - and: 1) it's time consuming 2) it fills up against your message quota unless you go and delete them right away (more time consuming) and .. well, sometimes things just sell quick or generate so many messages that it's just overwhelming to reply to each and every one in an instantaneous fashion. Forum PM's can be a bit of cumbersome way to communicate efficiently compared to other methods.

Anyhow just my $0.02. Hopefully whomever gets back to you. I do sympathize, it's nice to know where you stand when you go out of your way to get in touch with someone.

Happy new year!
