I think the only way Dale is going to let anyone know anything is if he is finally threatened with legal action.

the text file there is a fairly detailed description of the story, however the monetary total is now closer to $10,000 USD.
If you, or anyone you know, or anyone you might know, has an outstanding account with Dale and is owed parts, PLEASE have them contact me!
