The system is imperfect...but Paul's asked us to discuss any beefs
with the system directly with him.

Nobody sells anything comparable, though. Everybody else makes
compromises so that they can build modules faster and cheaper.

Paul's chosen to be extremely hands-on and to avoid any compromises.
That's slow, expensive & can be a pain for us. I think you're
right that it drives people to explore alternatives.

If he did things differently, though, MOTM probably wouldn't enjoy
the reputation of selling the best modules ever made.

I hate waiting, too, but I love getting that wonderful package in the
mail...
