Experience with Howard Hartenbaum

I've been reading the negative feedback and comments for Howard. I find these comments disturbing and amazing. My experience in pitching Howard was extremely positive.
Last week we pitched Howard. He was extremely attentive, courteous and pleasant. He gave us invaluable thoughts, comments and feedback. He also asked very thoughtful and insightful questions.
He then volunteered to introduce us to several companies and to people who he thought could help us - and he followed up on his commitments afterwards; this was very generous and considerate of him.
About a week afterwards, Howard he sent me an email stating that he ran our pitch by the partners and they decided not to invest. I'm not happy with this result but at least he didn't leave me 'hanging' in limbo! (I've pitched other VCs and and I've never heard from them again!).
Overall my experience with Howard was extremely positive.
