So... to get this straight, is this group buy in fact canceled?

I sent you a bank draft last week, it should be arriving anytime now (probably got slowed down because of Christmas-time traffic). Because it's a bank draft, the ~$300 has already been withdrawn from my account.

Guess I'll have to have a chat with the bank to see how I get this back...

sorry.
but i hope you realize this is not my fault.
and thus should not be a reflection of my credibility or honesty.

You could say you will return the draft buy sig. mail I guess so the float interest doesn't make the bank rich.

Orrr throw a little party and invite cholland.
