[Kunama]

Actually when Phil introduced himself to you, he also said "This is my mate from Canberra". I then tried to introduce myself but you chose not to listen, you just turned and followed Phil into your "Showroom".... probably too keen to get the sale done...

I thought that was rather rude of you so then decided to say no more about who I was.... The only other name you could have heard was me answering my phone to talk with my son.

As for your claims that Claude Voarino works for you and you allow him to run the Takahashi retail only because you are too busy as you are the chief designer of Takahashi Seisakusho optics....????

The comments that Phil, who bought the CN212 from you, related are indeed a true version of the conversation you had.

The CN212 on our arrival hung rather precariously on a mount and was held on by two loose bolts. The FT MPA focuser was attached and was rather notchy in its feel, you told Phil that that is how they should be. It was only after I insisted that there was something wrong that you produced a screwdriver and loosened the retaining screws which were on so tight they were bending the pinion shaft.

I have since re collimated the scope and it is once again in fine fettle, I also managed to straighten the pinion and the FT now resides on my Bino-TSA....

I hope this clears up any misconceptions,

Kunama

I will say no more about the matter and no doubt we will no longer communicate. Please feel free to place the username 'Kunama' on your 'ignore' list as I will do to the username 'Astromelb'
