Mark, after reading some of Gene's posts he sometimes comes across to me as being "short" (not height) which I have to believe is
NOT his intention. I've never met him in person so I don't know how he is but the thought comes to my mind that he could be a man of few words which is reflected in some of his posts. But I can tell you that he has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me, unsolicited I might add, on a couple of occasions when I was collecting LEs. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Bill
