From what I understand, the biggest issue Josh has faced is meeting customer demand due to having to rely on many third parties in order to get the goods to us. I feel like it's hard to give people definite information until you're sure that you can guarantee you can make something happen, and a lot of his time lately might have been spent sitting on his hands. If he were to communicate more openly with the community, it would ease a lot of anxieties.
Slightly off topic, but when I see that people express a desire to get another nail instead, I feel like it's a little unfair to compare the Liger to most other enails because the design is just plain different. Personally, I wasn't expecting instant gratification from a niche one-man operation. I think it's a product worth waiting on and that there really isn't anything else quite like it. However, it'd be nice if wait times were communicated a little more gracefully in terms of all these manufacturer holdups.
