Ya'll just go on believing your fantasies. Heh. It's a shame you won't admit when you're wrong and you'll just continue to move your conspiracy goal posts as each one is knocked down and moved past. This is why you are jokes and I don't take your seriously. You have done this all along, you continue to do it now, and you will continue to do it going forward, of this I have no doubt.
I quit being a customer because of a badly mishandled order for 8 jalapeno's. I even asked for help from you. Before I got glitched and ignored I actually supported BFL. I was giving you guys the benefit of the doubt. I judged no one could be that incompetent. During that debacle I realized that it didn't seem to be incompetence. It was a systematic problem. I stopped buying from BFL. I stopped supporting BFL. Given that the Monarchs overly complicated die shrink has gone so smashingly I suppose the whole crew at BFL really stepped up and gave me a present. The present of not betting on the last horse. The present of not waiting a year while the potential profits evaporate.
See the problem started with a blog post stating that my units should be done. I didn't know that 2 weeks before my order should have switched from pending. I know what a stupid customer to not know when things change and to what they should change on an ordering system that changes with each new product. Granted the tracking email never showed up either way I don't remember one ever showing up from BFL. Then the product never showed up. Why would it? The blog post that kept everyone in the loop as to what was done and shipped had already for nearly free told the world my product was shipped. When I emailed it was 3 days before I got a reply. I did contact a guy by phone that assured me I was not only being unreasonable asking for expedited shipping but I was very lucky that BFL was paying to ship them out at all. My units should have been in my possession about 3 days before I was on the phone. I didn't call before they should have shipped. I should have but I didn't know your system. After 2 weeks of arguing with people if someone would reply by email or answer the phone I did finally receive my package. Had it arrived when it should have I would have made enough dollar wise to pay for it before difficulty adjusted. When it arrived not so much. My order wasn't expedited in any way. I was put at the back of the queue and made to wait while more orders for hardware shipped. My order that pre-dated theirs was getting farther back by the day and when I did get to ask about my order I either got and it will get done when it gets done answer or we don't know when it will be ready answer.
The whole situation proved to me that BFL was only interested in getting paid for units. It also showed me that when BFL had a problem I would be the one with the problem. See the glitch wasn't my fault. It was BFL's fault. Someone didn't make sure all the products went to the manufacturing machine correctly. No one checked to make sure all the days orders had actually been produced before the news made the blog. By that I don't intend to convey that they production machine says they are all done I mean a DB pull for the actual orders and check them against production. I can't believe I stood up for BFL. In hindsight I feel bad that I ever thought the delays had been caused by anything but either incompetence or a corporate culture designed to delay product shipment.
I'm glad you showed up on BCT. I wish you visited your pool page. I wish even more that there had been announcements about EMC being converted to BFL's personal pool.
I'm sure a mod can bury this post too but I hope they don't.
