    Re: Are the cornwall III's really that better?

    I think I chased him away. A little over a year ago CTP dissappeared after this thread. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/769217.aspx

     If you follow the thread you can read, he got into trouble. Since I was helped out bigtime by forumbuddies after I got scammed on a pair of MC30's, I wanted to help out someone else from our community. Needless to say, after I paypalled him a loan, nothing but silence... Then suddenly, this thread! I pm-ed and emailed him again to please remember me. After that, silence again. I think he's a young boy who does not know how to handle money, is buying and selling again to get out of trouble. By now he must have accumulated quite a terrible karma. I hope he comes to his senses and developes a conscience, before his karma catches up with him (or whoever else is on him). James, if you read this, you know my paypal address (yeah right)...

     

    I know I am a dumbass, who believes in the good of people and trusts people to easily. Still I must say, with this look on people, I still gained more over the years than I lost to losers like above. Funny, I still think this could all be a misunderstanding, even though it's been a year. Naive? Embarrassed Tim.

    Back then, first I was patient, then curious, then worried, then frustrated. With all I had experienced just before, I chose to ignore it and go on with my life with yet another lesson learned. Still, someday I might surprise someone. I will cross the pond again soon... Travel

    Sorry to hear about that Timmikid.  I had no idea!  Thanks for updating us.

    No wonder he didn't come back to the thread.  Well, good things do happen....at least two members read this thread and purchased new CIIIs. 

    I know that doesn't help your situation with CTP.  Maybe he will read this and at least get in touch with you to explain his position.

    If I recall correctly, isn't CTP the kid that Pihrana started a collection for a few years ago?  Maybe to finance a receiver from the St. Louis area??  Seems a bunch of us (me included) made $10-20 donations.  Later I think he had a thread about his dad's superfast and super expensive Corvette . . . .  and now it turns out the forum is paying his cell phone bill?????????????????? yikes, I am getting too old . . . .

    I hope Piranha reads this and let's us know if it's one in the same.

     I emailed him and kindly asked him to answer to the accusations if he was going to pop in here every so often. I'm not the Klipsch police, but I like to see things made right.

     CTP's email bounced back, am I not suprised?

    Let's hope that part of getting his life together mentioned in the "CTP's back" thread includes getting squared with debts owed to Forum members, especially one from the Netherlands. It'd be nice, but don't hold your breath.

    Re: Are the cornwall III's really that better?

    Well, he did leave his phone number in one of the threads (if it still belongs to him). You could find out the last name and then call his Dad. They live in Pasadena, CA area.

    That really is outrageous to do that and then re-appear like this. If, in fact, he has done what we think he has done. It would be interesting to hear his side of the story.

    Yes, I'm hoping he is getting his life together, too. Seems like he was 16 or so when he first started posting. CTP certainly has been treated graciously on the forum. One part of getting things together would be settling up with Tim.

    CTP, if you are reading this, trust me, you will feel so much better and together to make this right with Timmikid.

    You will look back on this and be thankful you did the right thing.

    As usual very wise words Mr. D. I too hope that CTP will find the strength to repair his karma. For me... I have already said goodbye to the funds I helped him with and learned another lesson. This does not mean it is ever over. He will owe me till he repays as agreed. For us: Let's get this behind us and focus on good music and the good of the forum. We can always ressurrect this thread again if CTP pops up again in two or three years. Tim.

    Instant karmas gonna get you
    Gonna knock you off your feet
    Better recognize your brothers
    Everyone you meet
    Why in the world are we here
    Surely not to live in pain and fear
    Why on earth are you there
    When you're evrywhere
    Come and get your share
