Michael,

Don't forget that there are different consumer laws in the US. IN Europe
you cant return anything after 8 or 30 days. In the US you can even
after a much longer period of time.

Michael, i don't want to be negative. But i think with the way you act
you're annoying people. I'm sorry for saying this. But you also have to
have respect for peoples feelings.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.
