[78-L] Dop a-bary dealers usually follow your packing instructions?

[buster]

and now Solarski just had the gall to email me directly and complain  
about my note below.  all for the price of the single free plastic  
grocery bag, inside of which he failed to place the nicely-assembled  
record sandwich.

and then he kept going, flinging personal insults.  huffy, and fussy,  
too.

so much for "satisfied customers tell our story best" - which is too  
bad, because, like I said before, he sold me a decent bunch of records  
at a decent price.  too bad.

anybody know or deal with this character in the past?   we all know  
about the cranky little old ladies that pervade our hobby, but this  
guy's a real prize.
