You're lucky to have a friend like that Jon! Not many like that around anymore... In the last year and a half I'm out about $4k to alleged friends!!!!! Needless to say I'm a bit gunshy now about who I do much for.... I remember the good old days when a handshake and a verbal agreement meant something, sorry to see it changing but good to hear that in some cases it still is good.
