Apologies to donggie, mag_doc, rexel16, and www.modifiedpaintball.com - EVERYONE READ

You learn little about a company from looking at it's mistakes, and alot from how it takes responsibility for them.

Now is as good a time as any to voice in public what has been clear to me for a long time, and that is that AGD is an exceptional company.

Companies spend insane amounts of money to try and create a corporate identity and image that you guys get just for being you. I find ( this is part of my business ) that most of them don't realize that it's not about anything that they can buy, create, or sell as their image, it's about their commitment to their customers and their desire to be really great at what they do.

Good job on clearing things up, and I bet that in the long run donggie ( now known to many as donggie the exhonerated ) might find an increase in business if anything thanks to the good nature of the folks here in the community.

On a completely different note, donggie, if you have a formmail application running locally that allowed this to happen by mistake then take a good look at it. Since most hosting companies made email servers more secure the easiest way to send Spam now is to find such a formmail application and relay through it. Because it is on a known IP the mail server will happily allow it to send whatever anyone wants. I reguralarily see entries in my server error logs where web-spiders trying random IP addresses fail to find something like /cgi-bin/formail.pl? and the code to send this IP address to a hotmail account so that a spammer knows you have an opening that can be abused!

add me

I apoligize also for anything I said. I figured he was guilty with what I was reading without looking further.

Army, I hope you don't stop posting. I could see what you were doing. My world is black or white also. I am in the AF and I think we judge the same. One mistake is all it takes for me to loose trust in someone but have to have a different level of trust with or co-workers than most. It seems as though Donngie was innocent. I can accept that also and I am going to check his site to see if there is something he has to offer even though I had never heard of it before.

sometimes its really good to stay at a slight distance from the soap opera that is internet message boards. i have absolutly no idea who any of these people involved are, and barely even glanced at the original "whateverhisname has been banned" post.

but thanks for the update nonetheless

you where wrong and you admitted it. you are a better person because you admitted this. 'nough said.

[donggie]

Thank You.

To Everyone:

I was more disappointed than angry with what had happened. It had become a daily routine for me to at least check to see some of the things that were going on with mods or mag stuff for sale. Thank you for resolving this whole thing. I am so glad that I was not wrong in thinking that the people here are all stand up people, that they are all ok and would make the best of friends.

I would like to thank all of those who believed in me before, and throughout this incident, especially to those that came to my defense. For those that actually called me, long distance, just to keep me up to speed, I hope you all know how much your faith in me has meant. They say it is during times like these you really know who your truest friends are. After receiving a cut and past of the thread as it progressed, I was feeling quite poorly, it was the second set of messages that was sent to me by a good friend, that made me cry (not being a *** or anything) But just to see people speak of me as I could only wish all would, I was truly touched. My sincerest thanks goes out to you.

For those of you who may have said some things or might have thought bad things about me, I understand. I do not believe anyone should have to suffer in addition to the suffering that has already taken place. Banning yourselves or putting yourselves in a negative light in any way would serve no purpose. I am just glad that all is well again. I do not need to "get even" or throw around negative thoughts. Aside from my disappointment of being branded such an idiot by people who may not really know me, I was not really "angry". It may be in our best interests to forget this ever happened.

Webby, I thank you for your understanding and sincerity. I appreciate the efforts you made even though you did not have to. I thank you for apologizing even though you were only doing your job and doing it well as usual. Thanks for being concerned enough to do all that you did. Oh, and I took off the midi and the tail script on the homepage. :)

AGD, thank you so much for your personal involvement in this whole unfortunate misunderstanding. Again as true to form as can be, you and your staff have come to the rescue, above and beyond the call of duty... AGAIN! I am proud to be an Emag owner and am honored to have spoken and interacted with you and your staff. I have always sang the praises of your products and your company, I will have to try even harder to sing more fervently.

Marcia, Joanne, Jon, and whomever else I may have forgotten to mention, thank you from the bottom of my heart. When something like this happens, some stand by you while others just stand. Thanks for being there when it counted most.

Finally, granted that the prices on my website are not as low as I'd like, I am at the mercy of my supplier of these things. For all AO members, if anyone wants anything that I have on the site, please contact me directly and I will give you all a discount depending on how much I can... if it's still too high, at least I tried and you may opt to purchase at another place, no bad blood, no bad feelings. As much as I would love to cut everyone a bang up deal on everything, I have to do it without losing my shirt.

Thanks to all... I'M BACK!!!

Sincerely,

Don
