Howard and others....I guess you've been lucky or just been in the right
time slot for Dan. Several of us here in MT have not had as shiny an
experience with him. So...if you feel offended then so be it...none was
intended. Spend your money as you wish...many of his fellow MT
residents don't feel as kindly disposed, and have found him to be
generally unresponsive. Good luck and I'm glad you pleased.

As far as posting my experiences here, I'll speak my mind when I feel
so moved. And, I figure it's better to tell the story than have some
folks suffer bad experiences when a word or two might have prevented it.
