Because your goals aren't his.
Well put #27. Mikas (from #10. LarsS),
I agree in what you write.
I'm usually a bit more blunt than you, maybe cause I'm not native in your language.
JohnW excusing presence here cause of trolling is simply not true. There's no trolling going on from outsiders, mainly disappointed funders requesting information on when return on investment will happen.
Whenever visiting this thread I can't stop wondering why JohnW refused my free of charge offering 2013 to PM the MDAC2 project.
If you are wishing for goals in your hobby then football may prove a more reliable provider.
You only have to wait 1min 18 sec. here
If it is not trolling then what is it?There's no trolling going on from outsiders

As far as I know mr. K & mr. H has no horse in this race but they have kept on putting gasoline on the fire along with a few others.
H. has even called me naive which does not bother me, but really is not OK!
Off cause a former PM think that a PM is what is needed, but with a PM we would just have gotten something equivalent to a a MDAC+
Do not think that is what we want? at least not me.
Have you a financial investment in any of John’s projects ?Am I Mr. K? If so I'm not intending pouring gasoline on anything,just checking if any of the guys have received any good news yet. It's been rather quiet. Only fair they get what they paid for isn't it? I'm sure we'd be up in arms if a fellow PFM'r had paid for something on Ebay and not had the goods sent out.

It's odd that this should need to be spelled out, but clearly that's the test.
I'm sure psychologists would be fascinated by the non-stakeholder interest in this thread. Some of it seems to verge on voyeuristic.
To be fair you can still buy in and become "involved". I'm sure many are waiting and watching for tangible progress before they do.Rubber-neckers morbidly enjoying the fact that they’re not involved. Perversely they’ll end up wishing they had been. Not that they’d ever admit it.

It could just be concern for community peers. This is a community after all and they have no bias from investment so you could consider their view to be neutral. I don’t see trolling, but there you go.
I wish I shared your optimism. We're now in the last week of October and once the design is complete there will need to be etch, stencils and parts ordered and the placement machine will have to be programmed. I just can't see this being done this side of Christmas and that will be for the first pass design. Boards will then probably have to be re-spun at least once to resolve issues. With the best will in the world it'll be well into next year before a shippable MDAC2 sees the light of day. I really hope I'm wrong but I just can't see it being any quicker given lead times for etch, stencils and parts.A PM just should not be needed for a project like this, I am sure John is keenly aware that just about everyone thinks he had enough time to deliver something that is better than an MDAC+ and will have an MDAC2 rev 1 board working well before Christmas this year.

. I read progress here in the hope I might buy a world-class item in the future.
