Next I'm gonna find out you've got a Monarch on preorder.
Maybe you think BFL has a problem with their brand image? I thought noone gave a shit about brand?
BFL does have a brand issue, and it doesn't matter. What matters is that they have demonstrated an inability to deliver. If they filled their backlog and were immediately shipping stock on hand, their brand would not matter.
I made this distinction very clear in that post you just quoted. I think your single neuron got distracted by the reference to sunglasses though. Understandable.
