Yes, and that's exactly what people are asking for - information. I know it's annoying for those who aren't interested in the K3. But do you really consider it surprising that many people who put in an order for something they really, really want, and then have been kept waiting much longer than they expected are anxious for information about when they may receive their new toy? It's nearly Christmas. How do you think your kids would react if you told them they'd have to wait for their presents until March next year? We may not be kids, but I think there is not a lot of difference with many of us especially where our hobby is concerned. Personally I find the lecturing by people who claim to be superior beings who don't care how long they have to wait as annoying as I imagine the asking about shipping dates is for others. Why not cut those who are guilty of nothing more than wanting to get their hands on a very exciting new radio some slack too? 73, -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
