He did.

Just had a similar positive experience, traded saddles with someone, because mine was the more expensive one he shipped his to me, paid duties in advance and provided a shipping label back. He trusted me to send him mine back, which of course I did.

This place seems like most of us missed the message that the internet is full if scammers v

I took a soils class at the University of Wisconsin, taught by Prof. Francis Hole.

Same semester had two other classes in soils and geology, one taught by Prof. Pray and the other taught by Prof. Love. Wondered if I had signed up for Divinity classes by mistake.

Sorry for the drift...
