Hi all,
I don't think it's necessary for us to argue amongst ourselves over this issue. Both sides are correct. All we are doing is poisoning the well from which we all drink. It is important to remember that, in the harmonica community, we live by our reputation alone. We can't shield Dave Therault or Hering, for that matter, from criticism about how they do business in this community. However, we can refrain from arguing amongst ourselves and letting the issue turn ugly. Inevitably, the customer and supplier both lose when any supplier can't fulfill their obligations. We all hope that Dave is all right and that he will return in "full force" to the list and the community. In the meantime, all we can ascertain is that he cannot be reached and that he hasn't filled his back orders to date. No need to dwell on it or get nasty. Everyone should use appropriate precautions when dealing with someone over the internet at all times. My experiences have been very positive, but there are always problems with various suppliers. We need to know what these are and the suppliers need to be able to take the heat if they are willing to enter the kitchen. Try to be nice ;-). Unless you have pertinent information, please don't add to this thread. Thanks,
