[W126 Coupe] Jonathan / Blue Ridge MB WAS: 560 garage cleaning

[Gerry Van Zandt]

I have to agree with Bruce and Markus here -- Jonathan is absolutely a stellar person who IS a man of his word in every conceivable way. He is very active on our E500/500E community and is one of the most helpful and knowledgeable individuals out there on the 500E and MBs in general.

I would unhesitatingly vouch for him any day of the week, to any person.

Lou, you are dreadfully wrong with both your statement and your tactics here.  I think Jonathan deserves an apology.

Cheers,
Gerry

>So while I understand your frustration in not getting a call back, saying he is "not a man of his word" implies a LOT more than just not returning phone calls, especially with no further explanation.

>In all of my dealings with him, he's always been above board (WAY above board) and helpful. Although I too sometimes have to be patient knowing how busy he is.

>I just don't agree with your methods. It's not like he is some new guy on the list that ripped a bunch of people off...he's got thousands of helpful posts, and many references.

>There's worse things in the world, to be sure, but the implication was of much more than what you now explained to be the problem.
