Becoming overwhelmed is understandable - it happens to everyone.
I really want these receivers, as do a lot of people. I can understand the feeling that if you were to answer all the emails and phone calls, it would take a LOT of time away from builds and receiver production.
That's understandable as well.
It takes 10 minutes a week to post to Gunco, AKfiles and Arfcom a weekly update letting people know that you're alive, you're well, you're still working on stuff, and not to worry, nobody is going to get screwed, you're still building the stuff - and that you don't have a lot of time to answer the phone, individual emails and post responses.
10 minutes a week for a simple reassurance.
Not trying to throw fuel on the fire, just trying to point out the importance of regular contact.
