Just for clarification, I am going to include the emails I have sent to Bill R. and John H. of LHSA and their replies. I have included them on a web page so those not interested in this thread won't have to scroll. :) They appear at: http://www.powerlogix.com/lhsa.html I do not have any issue with the check being cashed. I would like to see an official LHSA document that says that 'there would possibly be delays until the fall.' Did I miss this somewhere? Lastly, I just want an answer. I keep hearing November delivery by everyone (private emails are flowing in!) but it would be nice to have an official pronouncement, and even nicer to have an answer to my last emails that asked this question point-blank. This situation wasn't a 'surprise', I'm actually more frustrated by the lack of response to my inquiries than anything. Getting email responses is one thing; getting real answers is another. - -Robert - ------- PowerLogix R&D, Inc.
