I know what you mean. I also planned on taking advantage of the
points system to double up on modules I wouldn't have bought
otherwise. What annoys me, is that Paul bases it on modules shipped,
rather than modules purchased. Not only does that slow everything
down, it's especially unfair when a price increase excludes modules
after you've already earned enough points. The old catalog said,
"For every module you buy, you get one point." If I place an order
and send in the money, then there is nothing left for me to do on my
end to "buy" a module. If it hasn't shipped, that's not my fault.
It's bad enough I'm still waiting for production modules from
November, but there is no physical reason why points should be held
up on backorder.
