[Coco] Status, anyone?

[tonym]

Actually, here's what you missed:

 "Maybe he ran off with Stephen Disney?"

 "I think it's about time that Mark offers a refund. He promised the units in a few months and failed to keep his end of the bargain. I could understand it taking maybe twice as long, but it's nearing ten times the estimated completion time."

 "Nope. Not a troll. Just a bit overly concerned."

 "Excuse me? You promised a product in three months and it's been nearly four years. Don't you think we have a right to be concerned?"

 And all of this from a troll who didn't even do the $100 pre-order!
 Using the word "We" pretty loosely...

 Wikipedia Entry for Troll:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29

 "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

 Hot damn.

 The shoe fits.
 What a shocker.

Did I miss something somewhere? I didn't see any mention of Roger's Drive Pak; with exception of Roger's own post yesterday, to which I haven't seen a response from anyone...
