Whatever! I know he backed out of a deal with someone here and said to keep it quiet. I can only assume he did the same thing again but with me. Hey maybe he has a deal with you now?!
For me it's a simple lesson learned. He did this to someone else, he did it to me, and he will do it again... That's his character flaw. Once again, he could have called me and told me ahead of time rather than waiting for me to call him. That's where I lost all my respect for him as a fellow salt hobbyist. But hey, that's me...
