Hi, Dave @ Insectsunlimited... & after a major upheaval, my computer totally crashing & some "ne`er-do-wells" causing untold grief... I plan to return to the forum. I`ve had to replace my computer & start from scratch as my old one was sent a virus that crashed the lot & I was able to retrieve NOTHING. Four years hard work lost.
My expansion into the lock-up, collapsed around my ears as some scurrilous little man tried to destroy me... but I am now breeding roaches again in the house that was to be, a temporary let until I`d finished re-furbing the flat above the lock-up. . . & it`s become permanent for the immediate future.
I will be putting a price-list on the classifieds shortly & if any of my old associates or customers wish to contact me, my old Email address on djmesser@ntlworld.com is up & running again now. I look forward to hearing from some of you again after such a long break, sorting everything out.

Hi There, Thanks to everyone & normal service will be resumed a.s.a.p. but it will take a while as I have nearly 200 Emails to answer, all my accounts to re-set up & care-sheets & stock sheet/ price list to compile again. If I haven`t answered your Email yet, I will in the not-too-distant-future & I apologise for the upheaval, hopefully now at an end. Regards... Dave.

Bit late now but worth backing up your data via an external hard drive, at least you can then retrieve all your data files saves a lot of grief.

Good luck with it all!

Hi Rick, I know it`s a case of "being wise after the event" but at the time, I could see no reason for anybody to ruin, what was on my part, useful information that would help others.
As I`m not that proficient at operating computers, I thought I would just pass on any help I could on the 40+ years of experience I have accumulated, studying & keeping various invertebrates.
I didn`t bargain for ANY of the cr*p that I`ve had since March, or the problems & costs I`ve incurred, sorting the whole lot out.
The perpetrator was no better than a common criminal & his acts, no better than vandalism. Maybe, if he had a genuine interest in invertebrates & herps... he would have better spent his time learning from others ... rather than try to wipe me out over all I can think, must have been jealousy. . . or selfishness. It`s a sad world when we have to fork out for security systems, to safeguard against idiots with no ulterior motive or personal gain, causing upheaval to others. Let`s just say, I`ve learnt. . . but it was a VERY expensive lesson. Regards... Dave.

Hi Jas, great idea, I have to wait for a few more of my old customers to contact me 1st, as I lost all my customer bank & addresses too. Quite a few have already contacted me so it should all work out soon. Regards... Dave.
