I remember this incident very well.  At that time I 'chastised' the
person for selling anything to anyone called 'AK47'.  Or for that matter,
dealing with anyone with an alias like 'BAZOOKA', 'FLAMETHROWER',
'COBRA', 'HOTHEAD', and 'PORCUPINE'.  Sometime we CAN tell a book by
it's cover.

To make a long story short,  I've since then purchased  an item from
the modem seller (JR) and been very satisfied.  Just my .02 cents.  
 
Best wishes,
George
