Well, we all know that John Hervey is going to be paying real close attention to this thread. :-) I have bought several things from John and consider him a good friend. I've seen him at shows and have several friends in common with him. He's a nice reasonable guy who is out to make an honest buck at something that he enjoys doing. He tends to have a style of heavy-duty brute force while sometimes neglecting fine detail. This sometimes causes problems, but he will do whatever he can to fix something if you bring it to his attention. Walt
