What a load of bollox.
Bottom line is its either a fluid business, where you charge people a fair price and make profit so you can continue to do this OR you **** about spending too much time on the net and under charging and giving away free advice and products.
The first one will work as a legit met business with happy customers and good products
The second one is a hobby, if you want to run it as a hobby JUST MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
It’s up to you.
Why do you think other vendors charge more and spend less time on here. BECAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING A BUSINESS.
Sorry but them’s the facts. And no amount of "i will help you for free " will actually help because it will soon stop oR people will eventually want something.
Either do it right or don’t do it.

My two favorite teams? FSU and whoever is playing the Gators!
How do you find G'ville from Tally? Go west til you smell it and south til you step in it!
What's the only good thing to come out of G'ville? I-75!
How do you get a UF grad off your front porch? Pay him for the pizza!

This statement prompted the "******" statement:
'And no amount of "i will help you for free " will actually help because it will soon stop oR people will eventually want something.'
If I offer to help Danno, and he accepts my offer to help, I don't expect anything from him. I've met Danno personally and I have much more respect for him than most of the people on this forum. If Danno accepts my help, everyone involved benefits. Danno gets caught up on his delays and everyone gets their product earlier. Why criticise people for trying to help when everyone related to this situtation will ultilmately benefit.
Stop all the negative whining and work together to resolve the situation to everyones satisfaction. Is it really that difficult?

From: Dallas, then Annapolis - now Laguna Beach CA. Well, not so fast - I'm back in Dallas. For good!
I probably shouldn't, but I'm going post my opinion too...
Dan, I've posted it here before - I honestly think you're a probably a nice guy who knows a ****load abt 951's. But you screwed me. And you screwed others. You took my money and made promises (several) that you obviously knew you couldn't keep. Then you hid from my inquiries. I'm obviously not alone.
You coming clean now doesn't come close to making up for that.
I'm lucky - I got you to send my money back. It took a lot of work, time and effort on my part to get it and that you can't repay. While I waited you were organizing a West Coast drive...
The bit abt getting JohnD's blessing on your post makes me think it may have come about at HIS suggestion.
The time for this post was looong ago. You obviously knew that - yet did not do the right thing. Others here can, but I can't forgive that.
My advice? You should find someone to work for - someone who recognizes your talents. You've got some connections, right? But, you've got no business handling other people's money. You'll never handle mine again - I don't care if your chips come with a free car.

Ok people. Let's try to resolve this rather than endlessly whining and spouting negativity. This lynch mob mentality is not going to resolve anything.
Here is a proposal: I'll volunteer to collect all the grievances related to undelivered product that was paid for. I'll act as an intermediary between you guys and Danno until we can all walk away from it satisfied with the resolution.
I have no personal interest in this. I'm not fronting for Danno. I've never done business with him and I don't know most of you. I don't even have a 951! I'm just tired of seeing this crap on the forum!!!
Sound reasonable?
