Thanks for the replies. I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I put up the original post...it feels like I just posted it a few days ago b/c I've been so busy. Anyhow, about 3 months ago I used the contact form on his website and wrote him a short but detailed description of what was going on, but I didn't get a response....so I waited a week+tried again. I figured there may have been an error with his website's mail system. Unfortunately, I didn't get a response from the 2nd mail either. Then, I found a thread that talked about how busy he was, so I figured that was it...and that I should just wait+hope that he had more time to deal with emails in the future. Well, 3rd times a charm, and it's been a few months, so hopefully the mail system is working and he's not as busy nowadays. Thanks again for all your replies-
