It's getting close to 5 months now since I sent my money for this group buy and I'm starting to get annoyed as the lack of product and information really drags on and on.

I sent Shoe a PM suggesting that he should not have to be an apologist for AA and that perhaps it was time for George to chime in... I never received a reply so I'm going public with my frustration.

Am I the only one feeling a tad pissed about the delays and the distinct lack of input from George?

What's actually happening? How long is it going to be till we get these items?

Let the flaming begin,

Phil

I actually expected my check to be cashed and not get the product for a while. I ASSUMED ( mistake on my part yes ) that when he wanted checks he wanted them to be cashed to begin production. He was afterall the one who said he wanted checks to start production correct ?

Yes my record keeping is atrocious, BUT as I stated I wrote the check when the money was there. since that time I have had setbacks, some on my part, some on my customers parts. It don't know if you have ever run a business before but by the sound of you statement I am guessing you haven't. I am an understanding person, times are tight for most out there, I had to use money that I had in reserve and I never checked to make sure a check from 5 months ago had been cashed. I'm not putting ALL the blame on George, but what you ignore is the CONSTANT stream of issues brought up here about him and his business. Yeah, he's a great guy when he's out on the campaign trail, but online the real George comes out. I realize it's easy to get dazzled by a fancy car,a free meal, and some witty banter. We have a lot of politicians that got where they are in the same manner. But if THEY were worth a damn, my customers wouldn't have to put their cars on hold, and my check would have cleared.

As for staying out of these things, most pf the time I do as well, I'm not shy about making my opinion known, but I tend to keep it shut, this time was different. How many times do we have to have this shit happen before it gets stopped ? George has made a lot of enemies here, he has his own site ot promote himself on, yet he continues to stir it up around here. In the past the shit stirrers got banned....................

Passion is great, but when it turns to obsession, things tend to get real ugly really fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
