Alan, I sincerely and greatly appreciate your support (and that of others here) and kind words. I have no problem, however, with the fact that a number of people find fault with how I handled the situation. I feel that is was right for ME, but probably wouldn't recommend that others do the same.
In my dealings with Mark, he has never sat on any request, coin or question, for anything approaching eight days. I think people that have high standards for dealing with others often expect similar treatment from others. A surefire formula for disappointment no doubt, but the field would be better off if everyone acted like Mark and worse if everyone acted like his would be client.
No, I wouldn't have sent the same e-mail but I understand his frustration. My guess is next time he gets a request to hold a coin, particularly from a new client, he'll instigate a time limit.
