Nutsy,

I do believe you've found another outlet that doesn't like your egotical
attitude. Unlike us ASA members they are willing to defend themselves
with more than words

Live with it old friend. Remember what Frank Leahy said; "Egotism is the
antithetic that dulls the pain of stupidity!"

Humm, interesting take on my post..

Lets try this, I have exchanged over 20 email with NFM regarding my
order. I ordered two 7x15 ss with 10mm glass. I ordered these September
6, 2005. There were problms and delays with my order. It eventuall took
five months to get them. Check out rec.boat.building and BadBoatBiz for
a post that I deatail the problems in incountered.

As for my "threats" on NFM I have included the messae that Carlie
though threatning. Oh, yes I did cross post. Each post was a bit
diffrent though. Why? I do not want anyone to fall into the same trap I
did. Hopfully, someone about to replace a few ports will read these
posts and consinder what happended to me in their decision. I wish that
I had that opportunity

Below is part of an email I sent to NFM a few days ago:

"Dear Carli:
....would you please forward this message to the owner of NFM. I believe
I may have met him in 1980 when I was in PT. I also want to give the
owner an opportunity to respond to my concern before I document this
five month experience on several Internet discussion boards. I will
start with
rec.boats.cruising
rec.boats.building
and a new one called BadBoatBiz

Of course there are several owner groups that accept posts also. I will
be pleased to forward any post I make to NFM if you care to respond to
any. Actually it may make for an interesting dialogue. At this point my
recommendation in less than 10 words is:
friendly staff..... abysmal workmanship.............and a product best
left sitting at the boat show. Do not waste five months and $600 for
these two mediocre ports...."


The above is only part of the original message. I omitted parts of the
original message because it describes the two problems in greater
detail. What follows is the response I got from NFM today:

"Dear Chris,
We have examined the portlights, specifically the areas that concerned
you: gasket seal and bolt line-up. Neither area proved to be
defective, contrary to your statements. What you have are heavy duty,
sealing, ocean ready port windows.
Both the gasket on the ports and the additional gasket you requested
will form a tight seal and function properly.
We have offered you solutions which have included refunding you for the

portlights (contrary to our no return policy on special orders). You
chose to take the ports back with additional gasket materials.


We do not appreciate the threatening language of your emails. We will
not tolerate slanderous publications and, if necessary, will pursue
legal action if slander is found.
Regards,
Carli
New Found Metals, Inc.

So what do you think about the above claim buyNFM? Does telilng I was
going to post her emails constitute "threats?"
One last, thought........... after reading your response I remember why
I do not read this site.
