As I read it, he was trying to answer your questions and keep you updated with the situation.
Jackcoke, I hope you get your bike problem resolved. I recently spent money on a folding bike that suffered a lot of breakdowns and eventually had to be returned. It was a huge source of frustration. Now I'm in the market for a better quality folder.
I am really concerned about reading posts like the above. Perhaps we need new-to-this-particular-forum arrivals to see the murky changes now developing here.

English is not my mother tongue, and until B. Metras pic I frankly didn't really have a clue and was only guessing of which part jackcoke was talking about. And since I'm actually also jonesing for a folder I was intrested in what this part is.
Forums are full of people starting threads, questions or reporting about "problems", often without really clarifying what the heck they're talking about or actually surpressing facts.
Kind of "Terrible DxxxN Spoke quality - on my DxxxN XYZ they keep braking all tree days" - later then it turns out that the poster has a weight of 400 pounds.
On the 'net, it is a matter of taking things at "face value" or what the person states, in order to communicate. This form of communication does not offer much in the way of cues or clues like other forms of older communication does (i.e. tone of voice, sloppy changed handwriting, etc.). Until something better comes along, this forum will have to suffice
