No, but you said in comment #67 that it wouldn't bother you if only "the initial STATED goals" (i.e. everything pre-production) were completed. Besides, you are mistaking me declaring consent with amigadave's statement as something having to do with you.

> I want one.

Yes, you stated you would have ten boards produced just to have them.

> they have to be designed first, so that is the initial goal.

Yes, of course, nobody denies that.
