Actually Mark, ive been trying to get one of your diffusion pumps for some time but you wont ship outside US or Canada. Ive accepted that now and given up trying. My last request was for the one listed on ebay, i can buy pretty much most stuff through Ebay except what you sell as you wont ship - thats your call, but its worth trying at least - dont ask -youll never know.
I represent competing products?? Where you getting your info from??? Im no agent for anyone and use a multitude of different companies for my work based on whats FREELY available and quality. I dont use a certain mnaufaturers product as the outlet here in QLD Australia for the company is an ex boss of mine and i know how he operates - hes also an old time collegue of yours i believe. But i take each man on his own merits as i find them.

As for me??? Im actually English and emigrated 12 years ago to Australia. I know what its like to be an immigrant, to be different etc I know ridicule when i see it and hear it. And the values i was taught is that ridicule is not acceptable whether you lampoon it as free speech or not. Enough said, this forum has degenerated into ridicule, im tired of it. I took exception to Neonteks remarks. Others did to. a discussion is a discussion, not denigration.
I obviously have no place here, i obviously have no place trying to do business with you Mark.
Enjoy yourselves..
