Default Dan Cong advice

Thanks Danica. I'll keep the Jing recs in mind. I don't do any business with
M and J's, I had a bad experience with non-existant communication with them
a couple of years ago, and gave up. I only deal with people that in my
experience answer my emails. But good for you if you like them.
