Need help: burned by Glenn @ GIK! (insert angry little flaming smiley here)

That's right! Burned by that devilish trickster Glenn Kuras @ GIK Acoustics and I need all of your help.

3 months ago I purchased an HHB CD burner from Glenn while visiting his home in Atlanta (after picking up my truck load of GIK panels for my studio here!) and the guy says "I have the remote somewhere but I'll have to look for it. When I find it I will mail it to you."

All good, sounds OK right?

This is where keeping it real goes wrong.

This no-good 404 livin' curly haired punk rockin' Porsche drivin' guitar wailin' lead singin' son of a biscuit maker calls me the next day and says "hey, I found the remote and I'm mailing it today!".

That was 3 months ago.

So I need your help.

Please barrage (hey I'm speaking French!) Glenn with emails, phone calls, LIVE CHAT on his home page, anything you can do and deliver one simple message:

"MAIL WARREN HIS &$^%@! REMOTE!"

and maybe I will get some results.

All other options have been exhausted (asking nicely, asking somewhat annoyed, advancing to asking in a sarcastic manner as if he'll ever remember to do it) so I figured outing this scoundrel on Gearslutz might prove worthwhile as it has for so many others here.

The prevention of me having to extend my arm fully to advance a CD track could be a life saver, or possibly prevent tennis elbow!

I hate it when people don't tell the full story. Mr Dent you know that I sold you that CD burner ($100) WITHOUT the remote and after finding it (as I said I would look for it, to SELL IT TO YOU) I told you the remote price of $678.90 plus $98.74 for the shipping. You seemed fine with that until your freaking credit card would not run.
Folks please you know what kind of slimmy, SC, sister kissing, mustang driving, gear pimpin guy War really is. I mean come on he can't even show his face but has to put a WALL in front of it.
I think everyone should call you!!!

Glenn

I'm mad enough at this Glenn Kuras character to spit nails, if nails were soft and billowy but still, that's pretty mad right?

The other day I think I heard my elbow make one of those small cracking sounds while skipping to the next track on my "Best of Bananarama" CD and boy...are my arms tired!

Listen here Kuras, don't make an 803 drive to the 404 and commit a 187.

Send the remote, and stop smearing my good reputation. You know the only reason my cc was maxed was bailing you out of jail from your rest-stop debacle! Yeah, I'm sure ALL of those guys were there to just pee also.

Seriously, I need you guys to pester this guy until I get my remote!

Then things will be happy again, with chocolate rivers and rainbows, oh and bass traps!

I'm pissed too, I ordered some friggin sound treatment from Glenn and WITHOUT MY PERMISSION he shipped them before he said they were going to be done. I ordered Monday and got the panels Friday - but he said it would be the NEXT WEEK they would be arriving!!!!! What a jerk!

My girlfriend saw all these big packages arriving and I had to then go out and buy her some jewelry - its a sort of unstable pre-marriage truce situation. If the packages had arrived later I would have been able to hide them and the boxes.

So Glenn,, thanks... thanks a LOT!

It has the special "unsuck" button on it. It is a kind of a auto fix for mixes.

Just regained my composure. My stomach hurts. (Haven't laughed that hard in some time.)

'Unsuck' button is priceless. What's the current bid?

It is just so clear that all Warren wants to do is make us look like a bunch of profit monsters. Either that or he is just a jealous FORD Mustang driver. Either way I find it in bad taste that only because he can't seem to keep his credit card in check he is using you guys as puppets.

Porsche?? come on, ME? and I though of Warren as a friend.

Well as you can see I was forced to take it down. It turns out Warren got his mom to make the payment after all.

All is good and thanks Warren, for your purchase.
