Perhaps I should explain my frustration. Based on
what I said, I definitely deserve a pot-shot or ten.
The thing that bothers me is that Warp seems to set
release dates that they cannot keep. A delay every
once in a while is to be expected, but lately it seems
like nearly every release has been pushed back. If it
is harder to release stuff in America, then by all
means set a more realistic release date. It is just
VERY frustrating for us fans to expect a release on a
certain date and then have it pushed back.
I appologize for being an ass. However, the general
sentiment of my post stands.
