    Sometimes the written word is misleading. I intend to order from him but I was thinking I needed to wait and let him get all this straightened out. Stuff happens as they say and sometimes it falls on the shoulders of someone who is not ultimately responsible. Besides where else can you order a kit and get someone to help out like you guys and him. I have already gleaned enough information from his site to pay the bill for the water testing kit. Or I feel like I have. You know what they say about a little information being a dangerous thing.

    mbar,
    I appologize, sometimes sarcasm doesn't come across well in type...I wasn't trying to suggest that people shouldn't use Ben's kit. I understand his issues of late and am supremely grateful he's spent so much of his personal time to get the site back up and running.

    I had used Taylor's website prior to finding this site and was trying to provide a possible alternative to Chemistrydropout for a decent kit until one of Ben's arrives. I hate to see people use strips (as I did) and then turn to the Pool Store for help (as I did) and waste hundreds of dollars on a green pool (as I did).

    Without a doubt Ben's kit and the advice on this site are invaluable to us all.

    nater,
    No need to appologize - I was just trying to let anyone else reading the post know that this is not usual for Ben or the forum, I have always received items in a short period of time. All of this is new, and I know many people are getting frustrated. I just wanted to make it clear that once all of this is settled with the new kits, no one should be afraid to order from Ben. I have been coming to this forum for about 4 years, and I know that there are a lot of new people since he expanded, so they are not familiar with all of the help that others of us have had from Ben, and his dedication to this forum. I hope you continue to enjoy all the encouragement and help that we all get from everyone here.
