One other thing he did over 20 years ago was help get a suitable outcross for a line that had been going in Ireland since the 60's (and still is). This was the Sealyham type dog Tip that was sent over by MR for nothing. I think Hardcombe's facilitation fee was £750,000, oh no actually he just set it up because he cares about stuff like that. I'm sure himself and the magazine helped that happen many times before and after the internet. Hard to put a value on things like that?
