Seems like every year or two on here there is a post about how hard this guy is to get ahold of, or other issue. I would say making excuses for him if its been 4 months since he has bothered to communicate with you is WAY past the point of giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks B3422W5. Yes I see the other complaints as well. I am hoping someone gets a message to him to clear this up.
