The reason for this message is simple. John stated on 12/10/01 he mailed the strikes. I waited for 2 weeks given the current situation with the USPO. I sent 4 follow ups messages to let him know that I still have not received the strikes. I'm just trying to get a response from him. People have situations that prevent a timely response. I feel that 4 weeks without a response is not the way to do business. This is the first time for me to trade with John. By reading the responses, he seems to be a nice guy, but communication is the key to any transaction. I just hope if he is out of town on business, that maybe he could take just a few minutes to check his e-mail. I'm using this forum for help, not to place undue fault on anyones head.
