Fellows,
The rules were not altered only a few days ago. This thread has been up for a month:
Vendors
I recently did make a "Rules" post in the newbie forum to help the newbies out. That post mentions Vendors as Richard points out.
As far as not being able to get in touch with me......as you know I am on the forum daily. You can definitely email me. Some emails will get caught in my spam filter, especially from AOL and Yahoo addresses. If email doesn't work you can PM me, that works 100% of the time. You can create a post "Hey Ron Earp". Additionally you can click "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page, that goes straight to me.
As far as phoning that is cool too, but I generally won't take calls after 7pm EST and definitely don't take them with no caller ID.
