Great news Mike, thank u for your proactive work buddy. U and TJ are extremely generous to take this on. I really don't understand where I went wrong other than dealing with a seller with low posts and perhaps not paying by postal money order vs bank check, what the heck did he have to gain by holding onto the stock and generating negative publicity for himself (and sister) on the forum. Glad u and TJ rescued the day. Again, thanks! I owe u both.
Steve
