That's the one. I exchanged email with him a few times, then he
disappeared. I never thought he was a crook or such, more that he
perhaps got in over his head experience and/or time-wise. He had told
me that he took over the 'paint & silkscreening' business from N0ALO
which others confirmed, which is what I based my comments on.

There's a reason most people don't get involved in such ventures. The
customer base is small, and in our case - notoriously picky and
cheap.. er...frugal. (o:  I can't imagine anyone diving in for any
reason beyond the helping out and hobby aspects. Just the time
required alone pretty much assures you'll never get rich at it. Not to
mention the possibility of ruining a hobby you enjoy.
