Just thought I'd share a less than pleasant experience in the PIF world.
Please understand I'm not screaming so much for me (I can't honestly say I NEEDED the item which I didn't receive)....just bummed that our wonderful community of selflessness and sharing has had a hiccup.
Awhile back I "won" a PIF and sent out one of my own to another member. The sender of my incoming item would soon send my item! A bit of time went by and I PM'd about it - he said he thought he sent it and would check. Nothing. A bit later I checked with him and he said he had been busy and the wife would send it on a certain date. Well, you guessed it....it's been well over the amount of time it should take so I sent him another PM - no reponse at all this time. I typed and almost sent another PM, then thought "either he has a really bad problem, one far greater than my tiny item, or he doesn't care so why let it bother me". No more PM's to follow.
All my whining aside - this forum is still one of, if not the most, generous and friendly on the 'net. I'll go as far as saying it's one of the most welcoming and helpful communities of any kind on or off the 'net.
Thank you, sincerely, to all of you who make this such a great place. Don't sweat the small stuff.
