Dean is very predisposed right now. I'm sure that if you have a deal with him, he's probably coming through soon. I think the last place his mind is at right now is the internet.
Yeah, he's a busy fellow with work and family. I sent him some PMs and haven't heard back from him in a while. I also know people are having trouble contacting him for mods (some of his Duo customers were asking me about it).
