Put simply, I don't understand what you are complaining about.

Do you believe this is some kind of elaborate scam to get the developers ri=
ch quick?  Are you worried that no-one will get their boards? =20

If you clearly explained your concerns rather than some random collection o=
f rumours and speculation and complaining that you are being treated like a=
 troll then perhaps we can have some constructive discussion.

That's my explanation, but despite your assertions that it would also answe=
r my questions it very obviously does not.

Mike
