jephito: Don't be hard on him bro, working on the farm is not very easy... You could've requested for his phone number, or better still he left a contact link to his Blog on his signature, so.when you visit his blog you'll see how to reach him via email and I'm sure he'll reply faster to his email than even phone call which most times will be unavailable when he'll be on the farm. |
