No hard feelings...

I was certainly volunteering my services much of the time, though I only found out about it after the fact. Toward the end I got tired of not getting paid,

I am amazed that Mike stuck at it and never threw in the towel. He could easily have done that. Working through it all in during those days of misery to get promised product out is certainly a 'tick' next to his name. Many would have run.

I think many of us are grateful to the products you and other 'volunteers' produced. In fact, it was those quality items and ideas of those unpaid contributors that kept people staying with the system(s) and probably gave hope to Mike that there was still some kind of market to tap.

In future, MB will have to have a planned vision for each product he sees fit to place on sale in that he will need to target market, glean numbers of individuals that will buy it or shops that will order it and somehow, based on previous sales, (NOT pre-orders), produce just the amount he needs to at the best price possible to him. That will be his way forward ................. using a focussed production plan.
