I understand your concern. Yet, Tony has had personal correspondence with Greg Caton and I can assure you, he is nothing like that. As for Barefoot's experience, I just don't know. Maybe some type of misunderstanding? But even the members of our Oleandersoup forum have ordered products from Greg Caton and there have been no complaints, to my knowledge anyway. The only snag was in delayed shipping and we suspect that the Powers That Be were behind that.
