I was good friends with him for a while... He helped me build my set at the same time he built his... Went through alot of trile and errors together. Yes last time I talked to him, he said a local GML denied his 501st entry, due to his return edges not being spot on, and hurt his feelings and it has run him off the hobby for a while. Haven't talked to the guy in forever. Sad when one person can blow up someone's self esteem like that! Urgghhhh....
