Chillax, man. Scott's post really doesn't deserve your itense reaction to it and him personally. I'm sure you have every right to be peeved at NSB, but Scott has already told us that the situation is much better than expected, so what's your problem? My only problem is I see no hint of Scott's news on NSB's site... they definitely need to improve their PR skills if they son't wish to alienate every potential reader.
