Um, I actually meant it in a positive way :) It was inspired by what @GwGs wrote
I just want a piece of history.
No trolling involved, quite the opposite tbh. Its funny, cuz i actually recently chatted with @Hulsroy about the whole sticker thing, and i really like how it kinda reinforces the sense of community around an event like this, similar to the DBAD stickers. It's also a kind of nice way to show what you know / have been a part of, and want to be associated with.
And FWIW Sam seems like a legit dude who's just tryin to live the dream, and I've promoted Stayer on my instagram and website as much as i possibly could cuz i dig it. https://stridsland.com/portfolio/the-gas-pipe-stem/
Apart from that, I completely agree with your 2nd and 3rd paragraph, and im almost kinda glad you're still waiting on your stem, because it makes your words even more powerful and the others even more lame. Id been considering writing something along the same lines, but i got my stem a while ago so it probs would have ended in a case of "easy for you to say".
Cant wait for everyone to be happy again (be it due to a refund or receiving their stem), so we can get on with making a sticker to praise The Gas Pipe Stem <3

I don't think it would be fair to troll an independent business person like that. And Hulsroy who, after being badgered by people here, thought he might be able to let some people in on a good deal and help promote Stayer a little too.
It's obvious that the whole project was over subscribed and perhaps over ambitious of Sam to commit to it. But from what I can see, everyone who has emailed has received an apology (eventually) and Hulsroy has apologised too, even though I don't really think he should. He's offered a refund to those who aren't happy. Yet still people complain.
Stayer agreed to make them at cost, I.e. practically for free. Given that for the last couple of months it's been clear that he is time-pressed, I'm not sure what spamming him will achieve. If this is causing some people so much anxiety, accept a refund and get on with life?
Ps - I am waiting for a stem too.
