I have no dog in this fight at all, just sort of watching it all go down from afar.  That being said, why can't BFL be more open with everything they are doing here? It's not as if they are launching a new iThing or anything else people want just because it's cool. They are essentially selling a product that is designed to make people money, and timing is everything in this case. Can they not just show their communications with the fab,  stating when the delivery date will be and any issues they are having? It's not KFC revealing the 11 herbs and spices, just saying that the chicken farm had a delay, here's why and here is the new estimated delivery date - straight from the farm/fab.  Also, and again I have nothing ordered from anyone here but I'll echo others in saying that the company spokesman comes off like a tremendous ass in these forums. Having a dual account for personal/PR makes no difference at all,  and seems almost insulting to the customer base in a way.   

This has got to be excruciating for anyone who was hoping to cash in on early ASICs.
