Why do I think you are referring to me? If you are you could not be more wrong. I want nothing from you or anybody else here other than the most basic level of respect and consideration that I expect all here intend to give.
As for skewing results... I'll have to ponder that awhile to figure that one out.
My first post was a PM to another AKer asking him if I could buy a small part I can certainly do without. He sounded like a great man I could appreciate if only to be able to speak to him or listem to him tell me anything he might be so generous to share. I did not ask him for any favors nor would I. He offered to send parts I did not ask for. I offered to pay whatever. Afterwards he has ignored my unrelated PM's of advice about a set he has. I'd like to think he was just to busy to respond but some that I have read here brings me to believe he has changed his mind or something. It's funny to think of him telling me about a TV hewanted badly that a fellow AKer agreed to sel him for $200.00 only to back out of the agreement later. He said the seller is an engineer and they are different or something like that. The man I am referring to is a great man and I take no offense from him either because I know he is simply mistaken about me or perhaps he is being mislead by others.

I got a solution! You should not give me anything I could possibly benefit from and tell all others to beware!

I am here to share and learn. Only time will prove you wrong. I just hope you are young enough to see me for who I actually am which is somebody that works very hard to do unto others as I wish them to do to me.
I understand you have a legitamate concern and I still love you just as much as I love every other person and animal and plant and bug and TV, etc.
