well, tim, i am (perhaps) in part at fault for chris' silence.  we agreed
on a price for the belts, and i sent him the money...in a misaddressed
envelope, returned yesterday to me from my landlord (i sent rent at the
same time in a separate envelope).  chris didn't know what was up until
this morning when i mailed him, and he had said others had been wondering.
the check is now in the mail correctly addressed to chris in pennsylvania.

as for the rest, i don't know.

sorry.
