I'm just commenting with my thoughts, and, in case it wasn't apparent, I feel for those who have had a less satisfactory experience with BFL. Just saying that mine was mostly good. Other than being slightly annoyed, it makes little difference to me whether you believe me, as I have no stake in BFL. Pretty soon I'll be shutting off the 65nm gear I bought from them and moving on to KnC Titans.
You were in a train wreck and managed to escape without injury. That is not a good experience, that is a bad experience that could have turned out much worse.
Then you got on the next train and got in another wreck, again escaping without serious injury.
I don't know of anyone who would call their experience good under those circumstances, even if they managed to escape death and dismemberment.
Standing among the bodies of those less fortunate and declaring that the train ride was the best they ever had would strike many as strange. Then again, there are many strange folk on these boards.
The FPGA Singles were the product they delivered late. I, and other FPGA Mini-Rig customers, actually received the rigs close to on-schedule. Mine were 11 days later than their initial estimate. That is why I had confidence in them to deliver the 65nm ASICs roughly on time. When they failed, I lost faith and did not order a 3rd time.
However, your analogy and assessment is humorous, apt, and insightful. At best, what I said was taken by most as pointing my finger and laughing at those who feel screwed by BFL. I apologize to anybody I may have offended and and am going to keep such thoughts to myself in the future.
