Good for you. I deal in reality and facts, not paranoia; ("I suppose you'll have some way to verify that you are actually are getting a "new" motor? IDK, I am happy you're getting your machine back, but I suppose I am a suspicious sort of guy."), what you think about how the law works, and other ramblings you've kept at for the duration of this thread. Try actually learning from what a thread exemplifies about how things actually work, and what reality tells one: the deal can change at any time depending on who holds the cards. In this thread Kioti held all the goodwill cards and dealt the OP an incredible hand. He knows it, which is why he's not whining about the end result out of pocket expense. Is it fair? Maybe not entirely, but it is the outcome, like it or not. If that's tactless, facing the truth may be too much for some to deal with. That doesn't make it any less true. I don't have time for wishful thinking about what ought to be, life's too short.
