That would be a pretty accurate summation from my perspective as well. I contacted Dan via PM as he invited me to do. He did not respond to me privately but he seemed to address my request publicly. That's no problem. He is his own man. He don't wanna help me...ok. No problem. But it does seem somewhat hypocrytical to bemoan the "asians" for not being open to teaching the secrets and then to behave in a similar manner.
