Dorian, no need to apologize. You werent; out of line. But John is in and out around here, and I've known him for a few years now. He has his moments...lol. But he is not a novice and a decent guy.

Dave, Yes, Brandon has exchanged notes with me on the first couple kits before. The rest of the kits still have the same repeat issues. 440Source is a good place to get stuff, but in the end, Brandon needs to make money too, and that's what it comes down to. So long as the majority of customers has no issues they will be fine. Whether because the workmanship is that good, or because the vast majority of buyers are novice assemblers he markets directly to do not have the tools to check for the issues the product has. Some are businesses who simply are not detail oriented enough with performance work to care. There is no impetus besides demanding better if one is to spend more to satisfy the buyers that do require better results when you are making money and satisfying a mojority of your customers. Brandon's done well in creating a market for this stuff, and he deserves the accolades. But you can never have more than two: right, fast, or cheap. Chose which ones you want.
