no, actually i emailed on Wednesday.
thanks for the nice reply though.  i would like to confirm that i am an actual adult, that respects other adults, and would appreciate the favor being returned.  i was under the impression that is the way things worked on this board.
i was unaware when i emailed him that mameroom was a one man show.  given that, his lack of response is totally understandable, and fine.  i am new to the hobby, and not on any firm timeline.  i know nothing about any of these vendors, and from past experiences, some companies just do not do email very well, for whatever reason.  i was just trying to get more information.  i think the above posts covered that well.
