No, it doesn't bother me all that much. People have every right to "know where 
my stuff is".

Here is my personal motto: "Other people can out-ship me, they can be cheaper 
than me, but NO ONE is going to out-design me, and NO ONE is going to make a 
better product."

5800 modules later, I'm doing fine, thanks. Am I batting 1.000? Of course not. 
Have I lost customers because of slow deliveries? Of course I have. But more 
importantly, do I listen and *make adjustments* to my business plan? I think 
recent kit shipments show that. In fact, there has been 142 kits *ordered and 
shipped* in the last *10 days*. MOTM business is actually *improving* now that I 
corrected the kit shipping issue. And I did this by *raising prices*. Imagine 
that!!?!

But have I lost because MOTM didn't "meet expectations"? Errrr.....not that I'm 
aware of. Has anyone ever asked for a refund because MOTM was inferior to 
somebody else. No. Has there been any posts on AH, TGS, whatever from someone 
that was disappointed in the *sound* of the modules? Errrr...no.

Feel free to have a 40hr/week job, wife + 2 kids and THEN ship 5800 modules on 
top of everything else. Get back to the group then, OK. Meanwhile, go bother 
Roger or Bruce or Tony.

Sorry to burst your bubble: the entire assembled backlog is <5 weeks away from 
being ZERO and after that, delivery will be <4 weeks. You will have to think of 
some other "fault" to badger me with.
