I think it's not even possible to publicly post a non-public profile just by putting a hyperlink to its original page. If it was, it would be a public profile by definition.

@XDelusion:
I couldn't reach him via phone in the past few days. His phone rings, but he doesn't pick it up. Also he doesn't answer any SMS. I'll try to find him personally. At least I should find some of his family where he lives, and talk to them.

Whoa, Chain-Q, that is going quite a step farther. I do not advise you not to do it, but I say be doubly diplomatic in the words you choose. As well I think if you do it you should just try to find and talk to Sadddam before telling any details to his family if you do it.

No reason not to be friendly, Saddam seemed like a kindred spirit. :)

Thank you very much for your efforts!

Actually, it's not that big deal. :) I have visited him earlier a few times, and he lives in the district next to where I live, in Budapest. I just tried to contact him some way, before knocking on his door.

Good news, he contacted me and contrary to popular belief, it would seem that he did not take my money and go out and blow it on sex toys!!! What a relief! ;)

He's been in touch and we're straightening things out.

Thank you once again Chain-Q for all your efforts!!!

Still no way to do business ... keeping you waiting for 2 months. Anyway I hope it all turns out as it should.

You are right about that. I don't like being made to wait this long, but I'll give him a chance...

...he seems like a pretty cool guy.

I just wonder ... where do you stand with this for the moment ? We are almost 10 days later again, long enough to get a shipment from Hungary to the USA or at least to give you a tracking number for your package in transit.

He said he was shipping, but have not heard back from him since I replied to that.

Well, here we are, about two months since he last wrote and apologized and said he would ship the card.

He has not been in touch, I have not seen the card, nothing.

Ouch!

Perhaps you should ask him to give the card to Chain-Q so he can ship it to you, or at least have Chain-Q verify that the card exists!

I have a bad feeling about this taking so long. I have had trouble in the past getting things shipped when I could not physically get out of bed to go to the Post Office because I could not stand up, or drive a car and I am too proud to ask for help, so I know how bad someone can feel when they can't fulfill their obligations, but at least he could stay in contact and let you know what is going on and why your package with the card in it is delayed and where it is right now.

If Saddam is in a wheel chair, or living next to a dumpster somewhere, then I'd be feeling mighty bad for him.

Though, I've a feeling that's not the case.

Gonna try to write him again. I just lost my job, but maybe I can raise a little extra cash and contact Chain-q and see if I can hire his help.

I just wanted to point out that Saddam shipped the card and I have received it. If a MOD wants to take down this posting they can.

Thank you!

What a strange story ...
