I appreciate that these people, in the most part are extremely busy. So I wasn't really expecting that many people to reply... But you would think if somebody was going to take the time of day to send me an email back they would at least try to be helpful.
This is how a very famous designer who often talks of people losing their souls answered one of my questions...
