That is good. One thing that we should always be concious of, however, is that honesty is subjective. What you are praising this individual for is, upon your request, he did the right thing. I agree, that is to be commended. We here have 'hammered' people for exactly the reason you are recognizing this individual. Some of us would ask "Why didn't he state what he already knew before he had to be advised of it?". If you bought a bogus pistol and took it back and the seller said 'Oh, yeah, I guess I should have mentioned that it 'Looks like a Luger' but it is, in fact, a Ruger. I will give you your money back' you might not think the individual is too honest (while some would praise him for owning up to the facts and reimbursing you). Ok, that is an extreme example but it is only used to illustrate a point. We probably shouldn't be hammering too many people here for their virtues.


'Take me to your Luger!'
