Not at all. I didn't take your comment personally, I was just generally sorry that you now feel less confident.

[... from later in your post:] What would be nice is if Kobo capitalised upon this aspect by being more forthright about what is happening and what steps are being taken. Managing user expectations effectively goes a long way to keeping customers happy in the long run.
Sure, it would be nice to hear it from their own lips. But I do realise that time is precious and when you're fighting to find a culprit it's extra hassle to seek out a certain thread in a certain forum unrelated to your own company to go an explain all the steps you're taking – so I do understand their silence on MR.

Indeed. Have you contacted Sameer or exec care directly? If not, maybe it's an idea to do so and give them your findings and theories as well.

Yeah
