Morten,
I am sorry you have had so much trouble getting in touch with me. In the
other post you said, "I just feel I am the
only victim among his hundreds of business deals. Why me?"
I am sorry to say I have not chosen you alone to have such poor business
with. I have also upset others, and am resolving those issues now, as well.
I am intent upon resolving our situation, of course. To do that, I will
email you privately. In case you missed my first post after about one month
of my being away from Lugnet and RTL, I made a webpage explanation at the
time to reduce the number of emails I would have to type; it is here:

If anybody else has not yet contacted me about overdue business, please
contact me privately.

Have fun!
John
