    chief reason I will watch these processes from a afar.

    Too many scoundrels around here. Maybe in 4–5 years I’d feel comfortable w/hands-on participation. Although in a year or two i may have have the “ ‘doo” list down to size to visit a neighboring Polkie or state.

    Joking aside it’s a bummer they got damaged. I hope for the future of the demo program it was an accident in shipping or was honestly not noticed by someone. If it was no need to out yourself publicly, no shaming, accidents happen, I’m sure you’ll do the right thing and contact F1. Hope you’re not on his Bozo List.

    Does it have to be constant jabs back and forth?

    I doubt it, especially with all the extra foam core packing material included by the man with the plan. Plus, the speakers go into a cloth bag, then a plastic bag, & then the foam core cocoon with the box on the outside.

    Any way that it might have happened is purely an accident that was definitely not even noticed when it happened. Sucks it happened but not by carelessness.
