Roger -

Searching my email, back on November 1 I wrote a you a very long and detailed response to your queries about screws for Golden Melody harmonicas. That's the last record I have of correspondence between us. That hadly justifies your comment about non-response.

OTOH, I recently had my main computer come down with a virus, and lost access to the True Type harmonica fonts Winslow created (and still sells). He had new copies to me within 24 hours. 
Thanks!

your videos and to countless other people purely to build up your watch  list 
or your 'likes' yet gets NO feedback whatsoever: Zero. Zilch. Nada,  while 
noticing that you DO respond with a fair amount of alacrity to specific  other 
people, it tells the responder something and they eventually stop  wasting 
their time."

I wrote earlier that I am guilty of not writing to compliment in an earlier post.  Thank you Elizabeth for reminding me 
of the last time I DID respond in that fashion to someone.  I sent a "job well done" to a certain author of harmonica books for dummies
and received exactly the response you're mentioning above. Nada! Makes you feel real insignificant to the cognoscenti and also says
ta heck with that!  Roger
