Hey Sal,

sorry for not responding sooner.  I'm not really interested in using an escrow service.  I would be more open to using a member as escrow.  But even that is a little time consuming, and time is something I'm short on.

pwn's bitcoins did come through finally.  They came in at around 6:30 PM central time - a good 3-4 hours after he sent them lol.  kinda strange, guess slow network or something.
