I don't consider it a case of you guys not meeting your timelines, it is just that any timeline that won't help me with my next trip isn't fast enough for me. I'm not trying to be a jerk, though I know I might come across that way, but I just don't really feel like waiting. When it is all said and done, then I will take another look, but until then, just know it is nothing personal. I guess I'm just from the instant gratification school and never did have much patience.

BTW, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time and effort to respond to my idle ramblings. And hopefully, I've at least made a few valid points that CO can shove in the "possible improvements" category.

That is definitely something that should have been in the press release, and changes the discussion, in CO's favor.
