I'm fine as long as the wait is proportional to the news. I figure steamboat doesn't want to be left with a warehouse full of parts and nothing to make with them, so I'm hoping he's working on something big. Steamboat, just realize that you have more info than us, so it's easy for you to go without an update. People like me are completely blind to what is going on and we are completely at your mercy at this point. Twitter is perfect for this kind of stuff. 140 characters, once a day. Easy peasy.
"Still working hard guys. Thanks for your patience."
"Nothing new today, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Things may be looking up, more info to come soon."
"Last thing fell through, going another route."
"Waiting on info from third parties, hopefully things are shaping up."
"You guys are great; thanks for hanging in there."
"No word today. Hopefully good news later this week."
That was one week's worth of theoretical updates. I timed myself; to come up with them and type them took me 1 minute and 49 seconds. That's 15.57 seconds per update.
Someone please explain how 16 seconds is too much time to post something.
...and you can even make them *in advance*, cut&paste day by day, voilà! I'm sure there must be some random gibberish generator somewhere that can spill no-content stuff like that at the click of a button (don't even have to type it!).
And that would be sooo soothing. Useless. But soothing.
