I know that it is tough not knowing. Being from the other side, when finding out that the sway bar bushings would be on back order, I was biting my nails every day waiting for them to show.
Not to compare myself to Albert being that SARS is far more serious and dehabilitiaing than West Nile, I'm just now getting back on my feet after 2.5 months. In the first month I didn't even feel like looking at a keyboard let alone anything else. I definately feel for him and his family. There were a few times when I think Laura thought that I'd have given up the ghost.
Knowing what I do from other members, Albert is top notch and will probably do his best to right everything. With the time frame that it has been he may and probably has lost his contacts as volatile as he made it sound when he was trying to head up this endeavor.
Those that need the money back try and get it but try to do so in a civil matter. You may be at the mercy of Albert for that but it doesn't look much different either way. I'm just very curious as to his condition more than anything.
