waik thanks for your reply .Your post places the entire situation into pesrspective . Imo ,it is very unfortunate for us that there is this long silent period . I have empathy for Mario's situation because of the 4 hurricanes & believe me I can put myself in his place . So I give him the time to resolve what he has to resolve ,even if this takes the rest of this year . However ,come the new year I won't be as empathetic ,as I am today ,if we don't have relevant communications from him or the company .
