I cant attest to the other so called "brown nosers" I myself have never felt the need to do that. What do I get out of it, nothing. I have never kissed up to anyone, be it a boss or big company CEO or someone of fame. I treat everyone as an equal and found that if you do that you usually get treated the same. Like I stated before, this company doesnt need "brown nosers" there are no waiting lists here. The products are not hard to get, no one has to beg for parts or wait twice a year for pre-orders etc. If they people here seem a bit "happy" about Super-T its most likely because they really are happy.
Im sure there are some " brown nosers" there always will be in every part of life. It almost seems like came in here ready for a bit of a challenge and now you seem to be "putting down" our attempts to explain the concerns you have. Maybe its an LA thing. I know your concerns are valid. We all have seen some people waiting more than a year for something. But no matter what anyone posted to reassure you , you came back with yet another.
If you get an ELA , I hope you will enjoy it. You seem to have taste for the finer things.
BTW, how long did you have to wait for your Caravela? Its one of my favorites. I have been wanting one for a while, but it is one of the harder MODs to get. Im just too lazy for all the waiting and effort in contacting the maker to get one. Every attempt was met with another hoop. Maybe it was just me, since I wont "brown nose" Heck I couldnt even get the drip tip, as everyone said they wont sell me one if I dont own a Caravela. It will stay as one of those "mythical" objects that I cant have.
