Kevin Kolbe is a really nice guy. Had a fantastic meeting with him. Hopefully the start of a really great relationship with Kevin and Gerhard. Frankfurt was amazing as well. Really enjoyed my time there.

Wait, Jon has a forum? My opinion is not biased as I don't work for AntKit. Just a personal viewpoint as I have ordered from many European shops also.Acromyrmexbob wrote:Some would almost say it looks like you were an admin of Jons forum with those comments, Raj!Leafcutter wrote:I assume Kevin is fluent in English?
