Sorry to hear you got connected with a bean counter whose only job is to
maximize profit. I never took Dart for a compamy like that and thought you
got some thing that had been worked on a bit or came out the back door when
it should have gone to the remelt pile. Maskins is a real racer and top
notch kind of guy i don't think he would have bought that story you got for
a minute..
Sorry for your problems.
Dave
