Haha, "delayed shaft" - our new motto for 2011.

I'm really very happy about this change. Yes, it's not necessarily the end of the world if I can't get CR-1's, though I'd love to be able to use them for p.s. flights. It was the sudden "hey, thanks for your past business, but we no longer care about you" attitude I didn't like. It appears that we can make a difference when we all flood 1kvoice with our opinions.

One suggestion, folks, let's keep the big floods of complaints for the things that matter. If they get the same number of complaints because they try to take away the heated nuts or hot towels in F, they're going to stop listening to us!

I'm not sure I agree - I think 2011 is going to be swimming in CR-1's. Yes, there were no DEQM promos in 2009, but those 2009 promos created a lot of 2010 1K's, and they've been earning CR-1's all year, including this quarter. I think you're going to see a huge swell of CR-1's in use through Q3 of 2012, and maybe a lull, before that year's 1K's start earning them at 75k+.
