Interesting that you had turned a company onto the direction of HTI and Chad, et al., didn't act on that lead.  I know of a few others that had contacted Chad, had a reply back, and the leads were never followed up on.  The companies are "regional" sized agricultural and construction companies that would have brought (still could) very decent revenues.  The companies are in the midwest and not that far from HTI.  But like your situation, people have tried to develop leads for HTI yet they have shown minimal interest in those contacts.  Go figger...
