I don't work for EC, nor am I in any fashion related to them.

I take offence to persons making false statements and accusations about
respected businesses.  I have spoken with many business owners in respect
to these accusations and they are fuming!!!

I have made no false statements herein and stand firm in my comments. 
Elgin Computers is not  Ottawa Computers, nor have they ever been.  They do
honor their warranties.

You Scott, have never purchased a floppy drive from Elgin Computers from my
research.  As far as being illiterate, it appears by your tremendous
mis-spellings, and grammatical errors that you may indeed be illiterate; 
of course being illiterate has many scales to it, and you may be closer to
one end than the other.

Also, I was NOT referring to Mr. Noland's typing - it is yours.

P.S. I am not a savier, nor is there any text bellowed. 
(Scott's excerpt: ...savier legal implactions with the bellow text...)

And Scott, where do you get, "I make them so do others. So what I put on
that page is pretty tame to what you inplying about mister Norland calling
a low IQed moron. " from???

In respect to Mr. Noland or anyone else, I simply make the point that Lori
and Elgin Computers are NOT the same LEGAL ENTITY.  That is precisely why
you have a legal suit filed against you.

You will not receive any apology for attempting to damage a business'
reputation, nor for any logical interpretations of your actions.

All the best,

Terry
