I will list who responded and I will list if they answered the questions I asked...I will of course wait an appropriate amount of time as like most of us, they have lives outside the GSDCA too (or at least I hope so) and it may take a few days to get the responses from all who will respond. I have a copy of my original questions and I will keep a list of the responses in my files...

I'd be interested (as I'm sure many others would be) in who you got responses from and if you got the direct answers you requested. And thank you for insisting on transparency.
