You're 100% doing everything right. The frustration that was present in my post is just my usual pessimistic outlook on the bad luck I seem to have with the timing of things (likely an attitude/mindset issue more than anything else) and was not in any way directed at you, or because of anything you have or have not done.
We all very much appreciate your method, and your meticulous attention to detail sets you apart from other Meso sources. As you said, the community vote and your decision to go along with the idea of testing everything prior to availability was most definitely the best way forward, especially in our present times. Your products are top notch, and definitely worth the wait!
