I agree . I guess we could argue that a simple, face to face conversation is 'wireless' too.
Firstly, my condolences.
However, I do think this is a particularly unfair, emotion laden comment that paints the mods as monsters (which they might well be -
).
Did you explain this situation to them? If you did, and they are being hard-lined then I would possibly agree that compassion is lacking. Then again, rules may well be rules and they get all sorts of attempts to by-pass them.
If you didn't, then what did you expect of them.
Finally, and frankly, though I am sure you did not mean it this way, it does sound kind of goulish to link your wife's battle with cancer (and you hinted at her passing) with the sale of a camera.
Once again, my sincere condolences for your loss to that hideous disease (I am sure nearly all of us can relate to it as, it leaves almost all of us untouched) but, to paint the AP mods as monsters (even if by inference) over this matter, IMO, crossed a line.
