alphabassettgrrl: It's all a little fresh for me to be getting much enjoyment... yet. I'm tempted to just let Friday roll around and have the weasel explain to me why she can't sell me the house that's she's been claiming all along she owns. But I'm just not that mean. Sometimes I wish I was, but I'm not.

You're a better person than me, Scrooge. I'd love to see her try to explain her little attempt at fraud here, because that's exactly what it was. You cannot claim to be the owner of a home (and sell it on that premise) when you are not. They may have been trying the world's fastest flip, but they went around it all wrong.

If you want to get technical, the fist version of fibre channel protocol was written nearly 20 years ago in 1988.

The world needs nice people so good for you for being one.

Is fibre channel still a viable technology? I know a lot of people invested a lot of money into it (I sold a couple of setups back in the mid-nineties), but I was just curious if something better is available today?

Sam, your story is amazing. Major fraud going on there. I'm glad it has worked out.

It remains the leading connectivity option for switched data networks.

I should add that there's some flux in terms of which protocol is being sent over fibre channel, SCSI's days are probably numbered to be replaced by some combination is iSCSI, SAS/SATA, ethernet over fibre, but fibre infrastructure is here to stay for a while.

Weasel is right.
Sheesh.

In fact, the owner had given up on her and was about to start advertising again until he got an email from her dictating to him that she needed to close on the place this coming Friday at 11AM. with this M_ S_ attorney person (My closing with seller was scheduled at 2:30PM that same afternoon). The mention of M_ S_ gets an immediate reaction out of the owner. I would call it disgust.

Now I got nothing against a good flip. But this lady crossed some lines.

Seller announced herself to my Mother as the owner the first time Mom inspected the property.
Seller told the owner she'd turned on the utilities. We did that.
Seller told the owner she'd been cleaning up the place. We're doing that.
Seller told me she wanted to close this month because she didn't want to pay additional fees on a property I now know she doesn't even own, nor does she have under contract.

Seller is a lying weasel. Which reminds me, I need to check out this M_ S_ person. They run in packs, these people.

Long story short, if that's even possible at this point, I am saving 37.5% off a purchase price I was already satisfied with by dealing with the owner instead of the lying weasel. And I get the distinct impression the owner, after having been strung along by lying weasel all these months, is enjoying wrecking her deal.

How was your weekend?

And where was your Realtor in all this?
