You guys need to just let this thread die IMO. Everybody who has an issue, start a new thread, like you guys did with MS, and keep a log of the issues and how they are being resolved. Astro will obviously see the thread, and if all of you @ him in your comments he'll have no choice but to go to that thread and handle the business there.
Again, just my opinion, but this is getting kinda silly now. Keep this thread alive is just going to perpetuate the problem; people continuing to buy from a guy who is full of shit selling shit gear.
