Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CNC On a Budget - Burnt

At the top of the page www.cnconabudget.com/ he has some notes dated from
05/30/06 and 04/30/06, including a bit where he gets quite annoyed about
someone knocking off one of his designs, which would be ironic if he's
a 'black hat'.

Mind you, he shouldn't ignore your emails. Are you cc'ing all his addresses,
and trying the web form?
http://www.cnconabudget.com/Contact_Paul.html

Maybe he's dealing in good faith, but your emails are falling into a black
hole/spam filter? (It's a pretty contrived scenario.)
