Jerry, I didn't say anything rude. I was in no way being a hater, in fact I praised Novak's products and as you can see in my sig, ALL my 1/10 models have Novak in them. Matter of fact, as you put it, the point of my post was to say that "I screwed up"... I should have kept my original product and just bought a new one from LHS or online, it would only have cost me a few dollars extra, and I'd still have the spare AND already have the new one too...

I believe my original point is still valid and is meant more to inform than to complain... If you are going to send in a single WORKING product for trade-in, do ALL the math first (unlike me) and make sure that what you'll save will be worth it to you. And to expect an elongated time table compared to just buying new from a retailer.

Now, If you can somehow read in to that, me hating or whining or anything other than me saying doing things this way was anything other than MY OWN mistake, then fine.. But I believe that after reading my first post and subsequent posts on the subject, you'll find I'm fine with how things are now, having come to terms with MY ERROR. I was satisfied with the responses I got from the TARGET of my post (NovakTwo) who has ALWAYS been more than helpful and informative.


EDIT:
Thanks for the PM.. You don't need to do that though.. the internet is not serious business to me.. my feelings don't get hurt.. I appreciate though that you went out of your way to contact me and clarify our situation..
