DWatson, he had already stated that he did not know what he could offer and that it could be figured out. You answered his email so you wanted to take a shot at it. To me it was not really fair to come back here after talking with him personally per-say via mail and jump on him about what he wanted.
I am in no way trying to be mean to you but, this is the way things get started on the message board and tends to run some people off.
Maybe next time a conversation is held through an email it is best being kept it between the two parties.
