Are you serious? who are you and in what position do you have a right to tell anyone who prepaid (yes, that's with their own real money) for an item and was promised a delivery date and then continuously being ignored despite numerous postings here on the forum, sending PMs and emails only to be repeatedly told that all their PMs was "accidentally" deleted, or went to a spam folder, all emails lost, personal issues, one man show, supply issues etc etc (some or all of this may be true?) when he could have easily prevented any misunderstanding by posting a notice on his forum instead of continuously ignoring his paying customers request for a delivery update.
I once was the first to jump in on one of his sales thread with several drop ins ready to go, and (because of our time zone difference) I was being warned to pay up immediately or risked my slot going to someone else. I remembered then that I actually woke up at 4am in the morning, switching on my computer and immediately sent him a PayPal which he later confirmed. Then my agonies began...drop in never came even after being patience for several weeks, then months. Numerous PMs & email was never replied, or replied with deadlines that was slipped again and again...finally it turned up some 4+ months later together with another light (also delivered 4+ months late) and I felt like he did me a big favour by actually sending me what I paid for in the first place, but by then I have lost my interest of the items that I purchased, and I thought it was a one off unfortunate incident then I ordered another 2 lights last year. Same old same old...Now I'm not the only one getting this treatment and a casual glace at many of Mac's thread reveals the same practice, over and over. Now maybe some fanboy might put up with this but I worked hard for my money and I won't let anyone screw around with me. I don't accuse Mac of being dishonest but I just don't agree with how he handle his side of the bargain...so how is it do you have the cheek to tell someone to "put up and shut up"?
Making nice lights is one thing, being sloopy, lack of transparency with delivery time frame and not taking care of your customers is a sure way to get yourself unpopular. Mac knew this pretty well, whether he wants to work on these issues remains to be seen.
