...also, I think he said he's about to launch a new version of his website. In general it seems he's been busier than usual lately (going by fewer posts from him here recently, anyway). I placed an order a couple days ago and the shipping notice was via a diff process too; so all around I think he's implementing new biz-related stuff and probably has his hands full. Anyway, hang in there if you can, MFS is worth it!
Oh and there's a toll-free number posted on his site that you could try too.
