Default 5-90 ping thread

I'm not going to go into all the drama, but just want to know if anyone has heard from 5-90 recently.
Is he dead or just out of pocket?
If dead, I'll move on.
If in limbo I'll keep searching.

Do you need cables or a refund?

A fellow member here makes cables.
meanlemons@gmail.com

Can't help you with a refund.

Have not heard from him recently. He has had health issues and his official website is offline.

I can vouch for Mean Lemons. Good guy.

My understanding was he was homeless and was working out of a library via computers there. Perhaps said library is no longer offering internet access and money got tight and he can't afford to pay for the website anymore or to continue his service.

Yeah I'm not trying to start anything. I know his story and don't really care other than I hope the best for him and his. He produces a good product and I just want to know if he is still in business.

Not sure if you're telling me I'm gossiping or agreeing with me and telling others not to gossip.

I can say I had long conversations with the man myself and he did great business with me.

Another forum member (XJWonders) is currently making what appear at a glance to be great-quality cables in the Accessories classifieds.
