"Mid stream"? My opinion of the
'(International) marathon complaining tag team/ echo machine' was published back in the Pliocene of this thread. When
pestiferous, filibuster tactics/ verbally attacking people that dared voice any contrary opinion/ unrelenting blasts of the same (unclarified) whiney complaints - with the topic's search features all being squashed into various sub-topics proving you were right' was in it's infancy,
I saw this coming.

So many people since, telling you 'what time it is' you forgot me after posting you blocked me - so you said, but here you are?
No worries. I have ladies do that to me all the time, I can take the rejection
. I've learned to compartmentalize the pain
!!!
So yeah, sorry to enter your domain without a visa.
I certainly cede: you and crew ARE running this thread.
Actually, it's why so many of us said "bye!".
Exactly, the problem is the entire thread has been forced into being about Ya'll!
-
False dilemmas, like: "If you love xyz, you'll support me an hate abc", "But I heard ..."? - No doubt. Probably an echo. The din is deafening.
You can scream "
but what if they are doing xyz ???", "
I know the law says ..." 5,000,000,000 times, but my head'll still say "
YEAH, BUT WHAT IF NOT ?", esp. when my knowledge says "LIKE HELL IT DOES".
Acme kindly explained it in such a tender way.
I put it a bit different: Why should people care about you, when you're trying to wreck the company WE'RE depending on for OUR delivery?
And please, Lord let me not suffer - AGAIN - threats of 'like minded legions of Dissatisfied Vandals at the gate', crouched, waiting to scream "ATTACK", "ME TOO. ME TOO", should you summon them. Hey, I believe you. So stop right there and Prove Yourself Wrong.
Ask yourself: Is he crazy? He believes me? Why would anyone silently, patiently waiting for a machine sign up to my nihilistic agenda?", then
rightfully call me "insane" and an "idiot" for
following YOU.
-
My thinking has been, and still is:
obsessive whining, focused on generating a sympathetic, like minded following has
seeded indecision, division and distrust; haters are dominating this forum with repetitive slander/ opinion/ innuendo and
a scorched earth policy by the instigators towards anyone that objects in the slightest. This
'domination' of the information stream, improper and unacceptable has
rendered our forum unusable for it's intended purpose.

I was through with the whole thing, but then "no thank's BarnBoy for his help getting resolution for chief Muck-a-muck ??
Pardon me, but in my culture "giving thanks" is mandatory - since 2 years old.
Although occasionally embarrassing and inconvenient, it's 'correct', a mark of a wise man. Lacking gratitude is unacceptable.
-
Humbly allow me:
-
Thanks BarnBoy.
Your contributions, expenditures of valuable time have been critical to this community's education.
Patience, diligence, a determination to find solutions and honestly share the results - even with fools like me.
Thank you for taking your time and making that call, resolving this tempest in a teapot.
It gives me pause - in more ways than one.
I'm noting that after all these 'Perils of Pauline', why not simply have the bike sent now, use/ buy any old saddle, having the other sent when WW has it in stock ? -- Brooks Australia
https://www.wiggle.com.au/brooks-england-b17-carved-saddle , "4 working days" "No shortage" "In stock" ???
First thing crossed my reptilian brain
: "I'd compromise in a second - let's party
send me my bike!"
I'll have my bike - even if still
waiting (just as long as it would have taken anyway for the saddle).
My bike in my possession - and I'd get my saddle later 
?
"Nah, I'll wait". 
Totally belies
the raging urgency
, or a
lack of trust in the company delivering the product
.
I can't call that one.
There are those who prefer a certain nothing to an uncertain something ... I'm lost at 'ethics v outcome' - but at least I ponder it.
What's more correct (not just mine, for all involved): 'intent or outcome'?
Is wrong intent, resulting in a good outcome "correct" - or rewarding 'wrong intent's' intent? LOL
-
Thanks for your kind assistance. A bigger man than I.
I better shut up afer'n I get 'clown threatened'
- again.
Last time on this thread, gave me PTSD for a month.
Stay safe n' PEACE - or whatever to the rest that have a problem with that.

What a strange question. I don't think anyone in this thread has been inappropriate. Even you. And I certainly don't think anyone else is unjustified in venting. Even now. My philosophy has never been, "I've got mine, Jack".
But I wanted to note my tracking number because it is a concrete reason to hope that maybe others will soon get their bikes, too. And everyone wants a reason to hope.
Inappropriate? Not at all! Certainly, normal folks call successful business folks "frauds" and "ponzi schemes", play faux outrage and poof, "what offense"?
"Even you"? Hey, he's done all he can to help your crew. I think you are unjustified whining, and things like that I rarely say except face to face.
I KNOW you think you have a right to torture our eyes.
Represent a riot, get in front, say "follow me" and now it's "just kidding", "It's really a harmless parade"? Then claim all bystanders as your innocent, still aggrieved associates?
There you go with a false dilemma again.
What friggen' "everyone"?
I have my money down and faith in my choice.
Don't include this "everyone" in your war dance around the fire to get riled up. This "everyone" absolutely does NOT NEED OR WANT your 'reason to hope' in your mission.
I have my TRUST in my choice. You don't. You
admittedly make regrettable decisions,
not me.
Do NOT include me in your Gang. I don't need, agree with or even respect your representation.
I'll wait as long as need be with full faith.
