[Elecraft] RE: not about technical issues (was Shipping StatusPage)

[Solosko, Robert B (Bob)]

Julian,

It's just as much of an insult to call the Elecraft crew liars and
accuse them of broken promises.

Anyone who's ever been involved in product development and ramping up
production, especially complex products where you're dependent on
suppliers to meet their schedules, know that schedules more often than
not slip because of unforeseen circumstances, and even the most
pessimistic schedules may in hindsight seem to have been overly
optimistic.

Please give the Elecraft crew the respect they deserve for designing and
getting into production a unique and outstanding product - and please
stop insulting them by calling them liars.

Bob W1SRB

Arrogant? Whining? Twits? I don't see any arguments there for why it is
not legitimate to voice one's frustration over optimistic delivery
estimates and broken promises.

But thanks to your reasoned reply I have now decided to consider
cancelling my order. I don't *need* a K3. I have a perfectly good K2.

And at this point I wonder why I need a hobby pursued by people who can
think of nothing better than hurl insults at others who express opinions
they just don't agree with.

I'm out of here, too.
