Doc,
I am really sorry to hear that happened to you.
I agree with others that you should contact Slab with this issue. I also agree with others that informing us of the individual is not a personal attack. Lots of us buy supplies from other guys on here and it would be nice to know who is an honest dealer and who is not. I see it no differently than any other product review we post on here. For example, I bought something from Ship one time and I posted a thread about it telling about how good the product was and how good he was to deal with. I have also posted about my good dealings with Grousefly. These posts were neither attacks nor praise. They were product and service reviews. Fortunately for me and them, they were positive.
I hope this experience does not turn you off to the board or to jig tying. I like having you around and I hope this works out for you.
