Thanks, Scoobydoo - a post like yours is exactly the mechanism by which balance is restored. I have no axe to grind about him at all, but when people single someone out and start using terms like "sussed out" you begin to wonder what the poor guy's done to deserve it.
It's a small industry and it's good to know who is a "safe pair of hands", that's all. I've done business with three or four people in the last 15 years who together have cost me serious money and heartache, and I would have given a lot to have had some warning of what they were really about.
