We've waited this long, a few days won't kill us :-)
I won't kill, but for vloggers and youtubers it might hit where it hurts: the pocket. I'll explain: currently there are no unboxing or analysis videos of Batteriser on YT, and since there is a huge hype around it, expect the first video to have a few million hits. That means money, and a good amount of it.
The second and third video won't get that much attention: the first will always be the first, specially if it appears days before the 2nd, 3rd and so on. This has, therefore, become a race for youtube hits.
Again I have made an offer to Wayne, see if he takes it.
He said he might have sent me some originally if he hadn't have seen the personal attacks on the forum, so thanks everyone who did that.
Although that would explain all the conspiracy theories around here (including my own!), it raises the question: Why Wayne?

I'm starting to think this whole exercise is more like a witch hunt with a crowd baying for blood rather than a search for enlightenment.
If he wanted to be collaborative, he'd just send the batteriser and be done with it, and perhaps even make a name for his business, like I wrote earlier.
I really don't understand why everyone is so keen to get their hands on one of these things? What is the point?

Saying that now has only one meaning: he wants to put you against your forum members.

Yes, we all know what the outcome of any tests will be. But even if Dave got hold of an early-Batteriser off Wayne, Bob will be the first to come out with some bullshit story and try and invalidate any tests by claiming that the performance of the prototype is not indicative of the final product (which no one has and probably will never have). That way, he can at least claim that any tests don't prove anything without giving away that he hasn't shipped anything to backers.

Because this is the industries biggest soap opera!
Exactly! It is not about the product itself, because I believe most of us don't give a crap about it. We do, however, need closure! We need to see the last episode, where the good guy finally gets to beat the crap out of the bad guy.
This is looking like those good series on Netflix that don't have the last season yet (Suits, Homeland, House of Cards...), and we are left hanging!
PS: I think I remember Boob or Pranky themselves answered in some forum thread... or was it youtube post? anyone can link me to them if you remember it?

They have never posted in this forum, but we know they read it.

Could've sworn I remember some direct communication...
He's one to talk, honestly, after what he said to you in his initial email.
I didn't see anything particularly viscous directed at him, and what *was* said only came after his email.
Frankly, I don't think he ever planned on sending you anything. I think he's just saying that now to make you feel bad.
Trust me, the response he received was mild compared to some forums I've seen. He's lucky this isn't 4chan, Reddit or Something Awful.
I don't know how you'd like to characterise viscous [sic] but you've only just suggested he was lying to Dave.
I'll take your word the response may be mild compared to other forums. I don't think that is much of an endorsement of a community that ought to be able to rise to a greater standard since it has the technical base to support judgements based on empirical evidence.
I was by coincidence searching on "Henry IV" and the first response page showed this quote.
"We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities."
If someone was sending the guy death threats or burst into his company's office covered in petroleum jelly and pubes (both things other forums are guilty of) it would be one thing. But nobody here did that.
