He was nice with you :-)
I didn't know about him but he sounds like an honest guy. At least the big picture is great.
Going through "Announcements Altcoins" is a job i hate to do. I prefer to rely on new coins listed on exchanges (like Bilaxy, *hint hint*) or big pools like suprnova.
Anyway, i am in the same boat so i hope you (we) all be successful !
