I'm thinking this was directed at me.  But I wasn't bitching.  I'm 
constructively informing you that the kits need more solder, the 820's need 
screws and the grey 410 wires need to be longer.  Otherwise there will be 
more people receiving modules that they can't complete with what's included 
in the kit.  I mentioned it on the list because I was wondering if others 
were getting shorted on the same parts or if it's just me.

Private mail won't accomplish the goals of both allowing others to chime in 
with shortages they have encountered in other kits nor to confirm that other 
people are getting short cables or missing screws besides me.  Something I 
thought should be brought up so it can be corrected as early as possible.  
Nor would it allow me to bring up a fix like the following:

For those 410 builders whose J5 cable won't quite reach the jack, pull off 
the grey plastic tube (what ever it's called) and foil shield and untwist the 
black and red wires.  It gave me just enough extra length to solder to the 
jack lungs.
