its a shame that things have to come to this!
im with carmangary. there is NO excuse for ANY of this after a year! im sorry. back problems or not. family illness or not. sick or not. i am in NO WAY discrediting this maxyzmodules guys (i think his name is marconi right?) situation or calling him a liar or saying that what he may be going through isnt terrible. but, we're adults. he's an adult. sh*t happens in life! waiting months and months and even a YEAR to attempt to make good on a deal is INEXCUSIBLE!!!! PERIOD!!! i dont care if its $5, or $5,000.
unless you are unconsioous for that amount of time, there is NO need to keep people who had faith in you in the dark for almost a year.
NOBODY, and i mean NOBODY is hurt that much or has THAT many problems where you cant take a .5lb or 1lb lb piece of aluminum (i.e.- a laser diode)...shove it in a box....put a piece of tape on it....slap a shipping label on it and ship it.
i could understand a couple weeks. shit, maybe even a month or 2. you get down and out, (we've ALL been there!!), you need to find yourself and get back on your feet. but...come on.....????
sorry guys. but things like this REALLY REALLY get to me.
