For those thinking that a poll is a good thing or bad thing ..
for the project..

your view is not relevant.
Not in the slightest.

Considering the EXTREMELY over due nature of device completion and shipment.
And time being the actual issue not just in that but also in the device specs now being outdated, as well the continuance of issues relating to having to source new parts DUE TO the passage of time and suppliers moving on... as is the nature of things..
That is the presiding issue.
Time.

As I stated over in the neo thread in response to wiki's post...
Due to the passage of time..
there most certainly is not the original 200 pre orders ...now...who will commit.

It isn't about damaging or not damaging the project.
It isn't about vitriol or rant or opinion.

It is simply about fact.
Time.
So much has passed that the initial pre order number of committed people cannot possibly be anywhere near that figure now.

If some wish to be deluded into thinking that those numbers of devoted pre order individuals is immutable, fixed, never to change...
They are deluding themselves..
We are talking of human beings.
things change ...especially with the passage of so much time.

If some think "the pot is being needlessly stirred" ...
peter's pic says it all.
If there is officially nothing but silence from the project concerning said issues...then it is up to the investors to step up and ask questions...
When exactly should questions be asked that need answers?
Definitely everyone has been patient a VERY VERY LONG TIME now..
And most definitely the people putting money down for a device ...MOST DEFINITELY have paid for the right to ask honest questions that deserve honest answers...

Frankly there should have been continuous assessments and postings of the numbers of individuals who are still committed ...
and this should have been done long ago...like 2-3 years ago...
If such continuous updated postings had been done..
then everyone would be apprised of the situations ...as to whether or not we had the numbers of committed people still..
when we gained some or lost some...
and as a group of pre order investors could have offered SOMETHING in assistance ..however small to help out..
flog to my friends to pre order ..do something...

All I can say about it is ..
Such continuous assessments should have been done a long time ago...
The fact it is happening now ...is FAR better...than suddenly.. out of the blue...finding out the exact numbers of committed individuals and the consequent cost that they must bear for device completion.
