     I guess you did not bother to read my past posting of Mail Order Blues..
If you had you would have known not to order from Abel and to ASK IF THE ITEM
IS IN STOCK BEFORE YOU ORDER....  I told you so....

   P.S. I STILL have not heard anything from Abel about the $1000 they owe me.
The District Attorney in Sevierville siad there was nothing that they could
do about it. The case is more 'civil' then 'criminal'. I have since then gotten
a lawyer and hope this will get Abel's attention. I am sick and tired of them
treating their customers like fourth rate citizens.
