The Havelock spam is killing me. I think most posts are bogus and trying to force the site as the only solution to get shares.
It isn't. Buy direct shares via the very forums: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0. If there aren't shares offered create a thread, you'll get replies.
If you have specific Qs, you can always ask HL or ask TAT (via private message) of course.
