are you not going to answer me?
His name was on the top of the original order spread sheet as having 3 for payment of putting together this group purchase. I count 3 in the picture he posted and he is entitled.
As for the "lead turning" of the shipping labels; well, that would have been good "head-work" but there was no mention of how shipping was going to be handled prior to everyone buying-in so it is as much our fault as it is his for not thinking of it earlier.
yea, lesson learned... i'll do better next time!
and fyi, 2 extra came from the order of 80, bringing mine ot five. he sees 8 in the screen shot of bfgminer.
