Howard, you are replaying history that is right on this site - yes, I bid on their first ebay auction, felt it ended weird, and didn't bid on the second. Then I was called for the second chance offer after your brothers heard I had commented HERE that it ended kind of weird. So my version is quite straight. What I have suggested to both you and your brothers is: quit trying to nail down the "first issue", because it turns off most people who are on the other side of the issue - leave it a pleasant little mystery that we(NOT YOU) can talk about for years. See, being a direct relative of the inventor of the Synchronar(and your, as one person described you to me "rottweiler on the end of a leash" approach) just makes people think you are trying to claim the "first" title for vain and controlling purposes - maybe all gentlemen so concerned should agree to disagree so we can move on in life!. So, if you want to share any information on getting the Synchronar's that are out there in the world working - great. If you just want to come here and "prove" some kind of pedigree, or abuse "US" for wanting to get our watches going or maybe even sell them and turn some honestly-earned profit, I think I speak for many when I tell you that it is a major turn-off and comes across as very unfair. YOU want to be the only capitalist and make the profit, but you want the rest of us to be share croppers? Screw that - I've invested money in YOU - I damn well am going to try to get something back on my investment! More space has been spent on this site over your "issues" than any other, making it all extremely unpleasant.
Regarding the test holes: every module you sent me had them; obviously, you were not going to send out working ones. Set some new traditions, the change will give YOU pride....history is a poor support group.
