Haven't ordered lately, this is usually a pretty busy time of year for him -
he is not in the mail order business for much profit - his real job is a
professor of engineering. My experiences with him have all been very good -
better than any one else I have tried.  I know him personally (through a
workshop I took from him at his Summer home in Vermont) and I consider him a
most honest and down to earth person.

I have, on occasion, had to remind him of some things - but he usually made
up for it in the long run.

I'm sorry for your bad experience, I would chalk it up as bad karma for now.
(I know, that doesn't help much if you were planning on getting something
and now you don't have it).
