Larry, it's taken a while, but I'm pleased you've finally responded and it is appreciated. I just wish you'd posted it sooner and saved everyone a lot of time and drama - if you'd posted that here instead of via email, this would have been sorted weeks ago. I did get those emails but they were filtered into my junk folder which I haven't looked in for weeks, and they were sent when you said they were. If I had read them I certainly would have responded.

All I ever wanted was this:

I am no longer selling pendants of design I did not supply.

and this:

My apologies...

I sincerely got the impression from the last email I read (sometime in June) that I would have to spend all my time identifying every single item you sold, which in some cases is near impossible. As it was, we (several other people chimed in with sightings) found many more designs and posted the pics here, even though it was pretty much a foregone conclusion all of your bone pendants were counterfeit. Also, I had already clearly identified which ones I knew were copied at that time in the email I sent you, but received no acknowledgement or apology for that. The tone was very abrupt and you made no mention of being away on holiday. I felt I was getting nowhere, so I decided posting here was the only option left. I would have done that anyway, as this issue needs to be publicised, but I would have approached it differently had you responded as above.

Now back to your regularly scheduled trashing.....

No - this is now resolved as far as I'm concerned. I've spent a lot of time on this and enough is enough.
