The topic of devices being released as announced on the correct date with the predicted price and features, and the issues surrounding leaking information seem to belong more in a rant thread than here. Again, I apologize if I misinterpreted anyone.
I have no idea what my number of posts has to do with anything. Yes, I am new to this forum, but I didn't just arrive from 1990. I am familiar with forums, and with reading words and responding to what is written. I don't think the number of posts I've made should disqualify me from forming an opinion and expressing it. Yes, it's true that some of "us" jump the gun and are quite expressive. I don't know what quantifies "us' but I assume I am included since I've joined the forum, but I'd like to apologize if my expressiveness was out of place on "our" forum.

There are about 4-5 threads distributed around this forum which has information specifically to the Astak EZ reader and Mentor. This here thread has been around for well over a year, so yeah, some people might be getting antsy, some people know that good things are worth waiting for. Other more recent threads involve other Astak products.
Your post count actually does mean a lot. You do have only a few posts, meaning you are new, and it looks as if your coming in guns blazing like a sheriff, telling us how to behave At least, that was my interpretation.
Yes, Robertb has left for a time. Possibly some much needed vacation. We're not children. We're not snarky-cranky. We are excited that finally, after an announcement, we are ever so much closer to release date.
All I really am saying, basically, is for you to put a fiar number of posts under your belt, get involved in the conversation "as it is going along", not just reading the threads as a story. If you read the threads as a story, you get all of the excitement and anticipation all in one huge BOOOM, and yes, it might seem snarky-cranky. But I assure you, it's not. It's simply anticipation of a device that we've been waiting for.
Again. Welcome to the forum.
I must confess that currently, I woke up Sunday morning, and have not yet gone to bed. Working on some architecture plans to be printed by this afternoon, so I pulled an allnighter. So I might be feeling a bit snarky-cranky as it is. I miss my bed.
This post took about an hour to write as I work and type and work agian, and go thru how I am expressing my thoughts. I hope my thoughts are clearer than my eyesight right now...
