Wide band O2 parts kits update

Tue Jan 29 00:06:01 GMT 2002

I actually wouldn't mind sending the money but I still have no idea how much
to pay since that information has not been released yet for Canadian buyers.
Method of payment is still pending for us also.

out."
I have started collecting components locally to build mine but I will still
purchase the one I ordered from Steve when I here something.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the latest posters complaining about long
waiting times never mentioned sending Steve the money.  Surely you wouldn't
expect him to send parts out without payment received?  My kits arrived
roughly 2 weeks after mailing a check.

I thought this would be a good time to dig into my saved mail, to see what
Steve actually said in his post to both lists, just before he started
shipping.  This really shouldn't excuse anyone from reading the archives
that are readily available, though.

I've been a lurker here for over 3 years.  I can tell you that new faces are
welcomed, and new faces with attitudes attached are dealt with accordingly.
I'll second (or third) the suggestion to read through the archives before
you criticize folks that have been here, freely passing out information,
since the beginning.  Then you can wonder why they still do it.
