If you have another read, I believe you'll find I quoted your question in order to answer it. I did not direct any interrogative questions in your direction.
And I use his quotes because I'm referring to those, too.
Can't you tell the difference? I mean look, craigx says "We probably won't allow more than 100 premium Pandora consoles to be sold" and you come out with "Will you, or will you not be limiting the 100 premium Pandoras to 100". Is that really necessary?
You haven't been here long, have you. "Probably" is prone to much flexibility in Craig-speak. And there's no mention of timescale, either. (Never offer Premium Pandoras again? 100 a week?) There's a world of difference between "we won't" and "we might not". I just want to find out which planet we're on. For my sanity, and understanding of the setup with the Premium Pandoras, yes, I want to know that answer.
Or this, craigx says "now they know what they are doing (and voices from higher up seem to have done wonders) they can speed up if we can pay them to." to which you reply "Shouldn't you know already whether they *can* do this? Do you have proof, other than their say-so? Have they demonstrated it? Do you have a contract in writing of minimum numbers shipped? Why did it take so long to get the voices from higher up?"
Again, have you been paying attention to the happenings with the case company? They lied through the teeth about producing those 2500 boards, which hadn't been started. They originally claimed they could do 500 boards a week, and then could barely clear 200 (maybe 250). Sure, that was a long time ago, and maybe things have changed. But after all this time, why should we take them at their word? There have been so many setbacks in this project because of hopes about proposed production speeds that weren't attainable. So, I'm curious what extra knowledge (if any) he has to believe this is doable. Because CC keeps saying that they'll give us a revised schedule/contract, but OPT hasn't told us it's happened yet, and I'm inclined to believe that they'd sure tell us when they do, since it would be a Big Deal.
I want this project to succeed after the three years I've been watching it, I really do. And the last thing I want to see right now is for Craig to hire a bunch more assemblers, and then they just sit around twiddling their thumbs because CC *still* can't keep up with our needs.
He's covered your question. You are basically asking Craig to prove he is not a lair. This is Bad Form.
No, not trying to call him a liar. Read above. But I *still* think the statements were ambiguous, and he *still* hasn't re-clarified. He'll answer all sorts of random questions, but when it comes down to this one, notice how he avoids. Clearly reading the thread, though, to respond.
@Craigix - I think you exist because I've seen enough videos and photos to believe it. And because even if this were a ponzi scheme (note that I do not think this, purely a hypothetical), it would still need some real faces.
And since I've got you, it's unfortunate that CC only sent 300 last week? Did they give a reason? You'd said repeatedly that they were due for 500. What happened on their end?
@doublebeta - Thanks.
@AquaAnalogue - I agree completely. Contradictions are fine.
