Public Announcement: Beware of "Bassethounds"

This is a warning to those who may be contemplating dealing (transacting) with Bassethounds (Tristan).

Exercise extreme caution.

That is all......for the moment.

Perhaps Tristan's friends can PM him and post a link to this thread.

He can then enlighten us.

Let's not jump to any conclusions until we know what's going on.

I know Tristan had a death in the family and probably had to go to France, (not confirmed) but I haven't heard from him either in several days.

This may be catalyst for something that was placed in a back burner.

Hope all is well on his end!

Last I spoke to Tristan was the 20th, he said his grandmother was ill an he may have to travel, that's all he said, I haven't heard from him since. I just emailed him as well. This is serious enough for SteveO to call me on the phone, so it's justified that's all I can tell you. I pray this is nothing more than a misunderstanding!

Just received a reply from Tristan, he's in France and can't access TRF on his 3G....I'm sure this will all be cleared up shortly...

Quote:
I cannot access TRF with my 3G in roaming .. Too slow here in the end of Pluto's rear end of France .
I even have to access via my Movistar unto my account . Slow as hell. any wifi in France had to be closed in France for the anti terrorist laws .
