Time to break out the tinfoil? After going to the effort of reading all of those horribly spaced lines (I take it this was copied and pasted from somewhere to mess up the formatting like that) I see more conspiracy theorist than credibility. Pity really. BFL does have competition, and every day they aren't delivering is the chance a new rival can rise to fill the vacuum they are leaving. It doesn't take a genius to see that.

I too have seen and known scammers on the net, including some who ran ebay scams and got busted back in the late 90s. The easiest scam is to promise the world and deliver nothing. The next higher risk scam is to promise the world, but deliver it to only a select few. Honestly its easier just to buy the people (select few) and have them be your prophets. Know what would be an unbelievably hard scam? Promising a product, then actually delivering it. That would be particularly difficult, because then you would have all these people claiming you weren't even scamming!

As I've said before, and will say again, BFL is not operating in a scammy fashion. It would be far too unprofitable a scam to run things the way they have. They are however operating in a fashion that shows poor project and PR management. Heck, Avalon put precious little out in public information releases, including actual delivery dates, yet there are plenty of people who praise them yet rubbish BFL, which puts out plenty of information. The key difference is the information being put out is not what you want to see. You get angry because the news is bad, and blame like no tomorrow about it.

Personally, I'm one for more rather than less information, irrespective of whether it is positive or negative. For me, its nice to know what is going on, even if it isn't what I want to hear or see. Certainly it is far better than throwing BTC to the wind to order a product from china, receive zero information and when the thing finally shows up, find it has already been used for weeks to profit somebody else.
