I know what you're referring to. I don't see anything in the feedback here that suggests that JRrestore ever took money and then didn't produce. When I have criticized people about lack of responsiveness without knowing the back story (which is really none of my business), I often find out that they've been dealing with something that makes me embarrassed. Or maybe he's just having a life, which everyone is entitled to. People are habitually overoptimistic in the planning stage (both consumers and producers), and think things can be done in a lot shorter time than required, or convenient. As an old guy, and I hope a tolerant one, I've come to accept that as part of the human condition, both in my vocation and my avocations. Relax, it's just a hobby, particularly at this end of things. If you're frustrated, just go ride your bike without the bloody decals!
