Things are slow, but I trust that they're doing their best.
I don't think they're clowns, or poor possums. Your post certainly smacks of the latter, though. Your "seriously expensive, seriously good looking" kit for hobby that you're very fortunate to still be able to partake in took a bit too long to arrive? While hundreds of thousands of people around you have lost jobs and are struggling to pay mortgages and put food on their tables? Poor possum.
As for your insinuation that they shouldn't be run off their feet....

Is it time to get real and take a moment to think about how lucky you (and we all) are here, with time and mental energy to discuss a hobby as if it matters?
