RE: April 1st Update. . .

Greenthumb1 -

Nice post; I like it more than my own posts regarding this :)

You raise some good points - probably never to be addressed by the people who know best. . . VPI.

My issue is really centered around a total absence of communication, at least reliable, consistent communication. Communication to both retail organizations and the customer / end user.

I 'get' that orders exceeded expectations. This is OK - how can you really predict this accurately. What I don't 'get' is why not sit down, consider all of the process inputs including delays and such and share a very realistic adjusted timeline with consumers and retail organizations? That level of transparency would have been greatly appreciated. At least I would know a 'real' timeframe and make decisions or adjust expectations according, i.e., I would not have to play a 'guessing game' as to 'when'.

Based on a brief conversation, I would guess Matt is a good guy. I think he's over committed and doing what he thinks is best at managing the whole process. My personal opinion is that VPI would be in a much better position had there been candor in the matter from the beginning.

I'm not in any way invalidating anything you have said / typed, because I've had pretty much all the thoughts you outlined.

It's too bad - the VPI tables I've heard sounded pretty good to me. Will I end up buying /owning one. . . probably not.
