I've never mentioned your girlfriend. She's got nothing to do with it as far as i'm concerned.
Secondly, i never said Jim spoke to me. I said he told Bhutocracy and CDSmith. And i never said he was going to post here, i said someone should get him to post here. To be honest, I figured you would, seeing as you are "friends" with him as you mentioned in another post. Surely a friend would jump at the chance to help you out, if you were telling the truth.
I've asked this before, and i'll ask it again. And to get rid of the extra noise, i'll even assume for a moment that it was $1000 job, and not $2500. Did you ever pay the $500? No? Got a paypal receipt? Wire transfer receipt? Anything.. at all?
