Did you send the email directly to John? If so there is a good chance that it hasn't been seen yet as John has been very busy with other aspects of his businesses and has stepped back from the sales sides of things, which is why we recommend using the sales@wolverinesupplies.com address.
If you sent an email to sales@wolverinesupplies.com then as long as the email was received ( did it get lost in cyber space, grabbed by a spam filter etc, these do happen, it isn't about having enough business etc) you should have had a response. Send me an email at grumpy@wolverinesupplies.com and I will check into where it ended up and why you hadn't heard anything. When I order from a company via email and don't hear anything for a couple of days I will send a second email or call just on the off chance the email has gone wayward.
As for this old thread popping up again, if it bothers you then ignore it, John resurrected it to reflect the situation of the 858 and to keep folks updated on the progress.
