It's not that I wouldn't be intellectually able to grasp what he wrote. It's just beyond me how someone can write a whole thesis on the order in which orders are processed.... and then you come along and literally use words like

Nothing goes wrong. Devices are being shipped, FCS!
Well, as already said by epmt in his previous post, and in my reply to Mike a few pages earlier, we are all contributing to a thread on tracking numbers of Jolla devices. Others, me, and you too. We all should be ashamed of the amount of time we have spent here, if I follow you way of thinking.

I'm sure it took me more time to read and answer the replies to my perhaps-erroneous-attempt to understand where the processing of priorities messed up than writing this wall of text in first place. You also spent more time following a thread you are obviously not interested in than I did to write this thesis you complain about.

To use the arguments of Mike above, sure I might have found AIDS cure if I had used this time more wisely. But this thread we are all contributing to currently has 733 replies and almost 60 000 views, so I was not feeling guilty spending time in trying to understand where the hiccup in shipping process was, as it is basically that hiccup that gathered all of us here. And apparently it interested a lot of people.

Apart from TMO, I sometimes use my energy for other stuff, but I'm afraid you would end up saying WTF too if I'd tell you how useful to society it might not be in some people's opinions. I actually spent 3 full time years writing a thesis on some stupid insects living in areas where nobody lives or even cares, and am now paid for continuing that sort of useless stuff. I don't feel sorry not being Nobel Peace prize or brain surgeon, and I really hope nobody should feel ashamed not to be a Nobel Peace prize or brain surgeon. It's kind of cool that one can decide spending one hour on TMO, or even decide playing Tetris (also works with Angry Birds) while waiting the bus, rather than trying to use this time to solve Alzheimer poorly understood mechanisms.

I use my free time as I want to use it, and so you can decide to use yours to read and even reply how useless it was. And all in all, we are currently both enjoying spending our time hand in hand discussing tracking numbers and boxes in vans.

P.S.
Oh, and from your post just above mine, I'm curious how much time you think I used to draw "theories". I reckon you are overestimating when you say "hours". And I thought I was just sharing my understanding and hypothesis of where the process messed up, not theories.
