That was the last time i make an online purchase without searching these forums for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinions first. My retro-active search has come up with alot of dirt on these sheisty cats...**** am i ever pissed!!!

I can't stand crap business practices, especially when the business owner whines and asks for sympathy and patience from those they've ****ed over. I have a long background in the skateboarding scene, and have heard plenty of excuses, pleas for forgivness, etc from people who claim to be supporting the "scene" and the little guy. They act all stepped upon by the industry at large (in this case EAI I suppose...)
and are very prone to "meltdowns" and schizoid behaviour. Lesson learned.
