As someone who has trusted a saw to a site sponsored builder (with great results), I'd think the other builders and members here deserve more than a "he's got some issues" as an explanation. As someone said earlier, there are very few excuses for not returning someones property they have entrusted to you.
I don't know Mr. Stumpy, but he should realize he has hurt the trust that members here place in builders that are site sponsors.
My trust in the site sponsored builders has not been tarnished. I disagree with your observation. I do have more than one ported saw... From several different sponsors.
I appreciate those that have offered to send dollars for postage. I'll be happy to assist too.
