[ot]Airing out the dirty laundry
I second that - Dirk has never anything but helpful - even to the point of short-changing himself. He offered to GIVE me another rear euro bumper when my 16v was totalled as long as I paid for the shipping.
There MUST be some reason he's not available to his computer. He has been known to go on month-long trips...

Are you talking about Dirk SCHNEIDER from Germany?
I am sure there is a logical reason as to why he did not reply to your
emails.
I have delt with Dirk SCHNEIDER a few times thru ebay, and private sales,
and I always received what I paid for. He has been very helpfull, always
sent quick replies to my emails, and has been an easy guy to buy parts from.
>From other emails I saw on this list, he was equally helpfull to other
listers as well, and it should be no surprises that listers will have the
same opinion as I do.
It is also my opinion that you don't need to insult a whole bunch of listers
who have delt with Mr SCHNEIDER to make a point.
Cheers.

Ohh no..I would want the same thing. Yes if he was not so high on the lists
preferential people you could have some nice person on the list go to his
house and break his legs ( I live in PA and offer this service for listers).
I think if he does not give you your money or the right part you are not
going to even have a forum here. you better find another area he has not
dominated. You will just end up banned for life from the list. Not that you
are wrong I am sure you are telling the truth. He will not be talked about
badly here mark my word. When the going gets tough those who have kissed
still smell like shit :)
