I confirm that I'm now 100% settled with TradeHill / Jered Kenna.  In summary, my one and only suggestion for Jered is to improve your communication skills.  Individual hand holding and email writing is very time consuming so not realistic in a situation like this.  But as drastic situations as this was, you would have created tremendous good will if you started a thread here on the forum and updated it with weekly news.  Bad news no matter how bad is better than silence.  Thanks again and I hope to support you in your next business venture.  Let this thread die as now ababa has permanently left the building.
