Well said . . . and a brave thing to say. I felt the same way a month or two ago, but didn't have the courage to say it here. But I did sheepishly send Mr Bulk an e-mail. He responded very graciously and said he'd put me on his waiting list. Then, one day, a few weeks later, I got an e-mail telling me he was going to be making some soon and that if I wanted in I should . . . , etc. I did, and now I have my SN 2.
Communicating with Charlie was easy. I encourage you to contact him with any question or request.
