I just read up some of the newer posts, and I wanted to say that CD is a great guy, and whatever reason he has is his own, you cannot change someone's reasons if he is stuck to it. He mentioned he is with Tom and Pam and loves doing business with them. He also said that he wont do MZ, because it is a rival product, and if you know anything about business competitors do not want to use, in most cases, the same outsource company. In this case CD is with PD, and if he did do MZ it might cause drama, which he doesn't want. I know he was concerned about the lead, and even though it was "fixed" he still doesn't want to take a chance on ruining his own business.
Now to all of those who are bashing CD, let me say this. CD is a valued member of this community. He is a very nice person, I have spoken to him on multiple occasions, and I am working to get some sick E pieces from him
. He is also one of four "super moderators." If Vtac didn't trust him, he wouldn't have given him that position, and I trust Vtac, as the rest of the mod team, they look after us, and I will not allow anyone to bash CD as he does not deserve it.
You all have your opinions, but he has his reasons, and let it be. Find another glass blower who will do MZ stems, a user even said the pd stems work. That being said, best of luck to you CD, I hope everything works out for you in the end.
