Hi BedNewb,
Thanks for the kind comments … I appreciate them 
The better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Merritt Island, FL area are listed in post #4 here.
It always amazes me that so many people are willing to deal with or even promote what I would consider to be a very unreliable supplier and overlook all the evidence that what they believe they are buying may not be what they end up receiving. When I was posting at WTB (before I started this site over 3 years ago) they were just as questionable then as they are now and yet many people continued to “support” them with their purchases in spite of clear evidence even then that they were misleading their customers.
The component post here includes some of the better online component and foam suppliers that I’m aware of.
