We've spent a few hours online learning my software (or, scratching the surface), so I know who he is, know what he looks like, corresponded with his parents about it all as would be appropriate in all circumstances.


The credit card discussion was only about him saying he had no way to buy data himself from TrackMaster after his comp data period (about a whole year's worth) ran out so he was looking for new tools, which confused me a bit since he'd always have to buy data somewhere for most software tools, or even BRIS or DRF or TFUS report data.



I'm not selling him anything, right now. Maybe never if he doesn't find my software or help useful. No worries.


He can respond if he chooses what help or what use I've been, though he needn't, nor will I.


But I think it's a good idea to reach out to a younger generation if one has the means and desire - so kudos to anyone who does so!


Ted
Wow. And thank you!

My apologies.


I obviously read your response entirely wrong.



I'll go sit in my corner of rightful shame.
