| Message | this reminds me of a time when i purchased a new OEM FPR from said vendor.  when it came to me, it was in the original box but was all wet, leaking gasoline.  i thought this was strange since i ordered a new part.  i contacted said vendor, who replied that they test the FPR's prior to shipment to make sure they were okay, even the new ones.  he proceeded to ensure me that the gasoline was just a remnant from the testing. wasn't quite sure what to make of it, since everyone praised the man back then, so gave him benefit of doubt.  i know this doesn't equate with the severity of what has happened, but this thought just popped in my head after reading all this =/  in the midst of all this tho, he did make a severe mistake but the man need not be crucified for it.  he did come clean and seems genuine in correcting his mistake.  i'm sure he will make good.
