Why You Don't Hear Back from Contractors

This is written for Robert, Josh, Brent, Wendy, Eric, Steve, Lisa, and everyone else we have not gotten back to.  I am terribly sorry and I would very much love to work with all of you and meet with you if I could. I wrote this for you guys, probably to remove some of my guilt, but mainly to apologize.  This wasn't supposed to happen.
