Brent Regan has given freely of his exceptional knowledge and insight on
many LML issues.  I have not seen a single time where he has been dishonest
or untrustworthy.  My two cents says that a man with so many irons in the
fire that takes his valuable time to keep many of us from making fatal
mistakes should be regaled as a hero.

My situation is no different from many who have not received their pinpoint
GADAHRS, though they have paid in advance.  If I must take a look at who is
responsible, I look in the mirror.  I wrote the check and put my faith in
another individual who for whatever reason has not fulfilled his
obligation--- my problem, no one elses.  In most purchases I make I do not
pay in advance for anything but it seems the aviation industry has some
magic that makes me lose track of my common sense.  I have no knowledge to
base any opinion upon with regard to D2.  Every contact I had was positive
and informative.   Reserving comment until the facts are in can be maddening
and doesn't get our Cheltons in the air but it is the right thing to do.  It
appears that there are many who are attempting to make things work with
minimal expense.  D2, to their own credit, found a flaw in a Crossbox system
that in their estimation was not acceptable.  After many attempts to have
the issue corrected, their evaluation was that it still was a flawed piece
of equipment.  Pinpoint was viewed as a solution to the problem --- a solid
instrument with no history of failure.  This was an expense that perhaps D2
should have passed on to its customers rather than taking the high road and
trying to do it in-house, at their expense.  Let's see where it goes and
make decisions that fit our individual needs and meet our own safety
criteria for flight.

Brent, I for one would hate to see you stop your contributions and support
your absolute right to privacy.  Thank you.
