I agree with both. I've bought a few (small) things from Paul and it's
always been a good experience. If need be, I would not hesitate to buy
from him in the future. But Warren is right that he basically spammed us
with 'For Sale' posts, and was a bit argumentative when he was asked to
stop.
This is unlike the way John Hermanson works. John adds a huge amount of
knowledge to the list and does not push his services at all. This is
why, when I decided to get an OM-2000 and lens, I went to John. And of
course when something needs to be fixed, John is the man and Paul is
pretty useless.
