Oh, I see. I guess it wasn't an amusing story as I had hoped for. I expected a joke about a member named Vic, not about a conman who cheated members here. I've been on the receiving end of scams before and it's heartbreaking to put yourself out there to help someone and then find out it was some kind of con, that's why I really didn't want to ask for a dollar, since most people would be wary of someone asking for money, but I decided it was either ask for help, or miss out on a part I'd never find again. I wouldn't have dared post a thread like this on any of the other forums I'm on, because I'd honestly hate to find out that the people I call friends would not have been willing to help me out and I know that's what would have happened, since the seller who wouldn't even let me pay him $4 through paypal and then mail him $1 was a member of one of those other forums. I knew based on my short time here that this forum is like a family, so I gave it a shot and asked. I've only had the privilege of being part of a group like this once before. Years ago, when I was first getting interested in photography, there was a forum for Sony camera users. I met some very interesting and helpful people on those forums. Everyone cared about everyone else. We sent birthday gifts and cards to other members and donated money if someone was sick or needed help with bills or something. It was nice to be part of that group. Sadly, Sony (the corporation) decided to shut down the forums due to the fact it used their name. Once the site went down, we tried to stay in touch and even tried building another site, but the damage had been done. Everyone drifted apart and finally lost touch. I still feel depressed when I think about it. One of the members of that group sent me a wireless remote for my camera after I mentioned that I couldn't afford one. She didn't ask for anything in return and wouldn't accept anything. That remote was over $100 at that time. It's rare to see that anymore, but this forum has plenty of generous people who I will gladly call friends, even if I never meet them face to face and I'll do my best to live up to the example set forth by the members here, who I see helping each other everyday.
