Whoa now! Did I use "blithe character assassinations?" Isn't that a bit
extreme of you? Now I should be offended.
I simply told my experience. I also said he was a good repairman; he is
amazing at making "homemade" things one might need. He DID fix the
projector although he never called me to tell me that. I found that out
when I called him asking how much longer. Then he moved or something and
the projector went into his storage unit...I made many calls to him in which
he promised to drop it off at Anthology and he never did. He should "know"
me...I was the only girl at Anthology when he was our repairman. I offered
to find a car and come up to Queens to get it, he wouldn't let me promising
again to drop it off, which he didn't. I finally gave up the pursuit.
I'm not the only one who's had to wait a really long time to get something
back from him. I'm just saying there's some risk involved. Ok?
