First of all, Jayflash has a legitimate concern, and there is no harm in posting such a concern to share with his Internet friends. One of the attributes that so many Arc owners love about Peter, is his openness and willingness to hide no secrets. Surely we should not fault Jayflash for reciprocating. In life, there is good and bad, and it is beneficial to hear both sides. It is obvious that many of you Arc-faithfuls are not reasonable enough to accept the "possiblity" that Arc may not succeed in the capacity in which Peter would want. Arc-buyers make up a very small percentage of the flashlight owner population, compared to companies like SF, SL, PT, Dorcy, Eveready, etc. Common business sense tells me that Peter must raise his prices and not cut any corners on his fabulous products to make it work. I think many of you are SO dedicated to this man, that you are not willing to listen to the un-biased thoughts of other people. The word "fear" was even mentioned in a post. What is wrong with us: We have men & women at war, wondering if they will ever see there spouse or children ever again, and we are all uptight about whether or not some gadget will be available anymore. Folks, IT IS A FLASHLIGHT AND NOTHING MORE. Perhaps we need to rethink our priorities. I am not saying we shouldn't have love for our hobbies, but "fear", come on. I'm sure I am going to hear it now.
