[hpsdr] Metis Delivery Stats

[Berndt Josef Wulf]

G'day,

TAPR hasn't kept members and customers up-to-date about their orders. Three 
month without any ETAs and progress reports is not very satisfying. It doesn't 
take much effort to provide regular updates on the TAPR website to keep people 
informed.

How many orders have been received and shipped? How many shipments made their 
way to destinations outside CONUS?

I believe in equality and the FIFO principle when ordering goods from a 
supplier. Seeing preferences being applied by demographics is very 
disappointing.

Whilst the idea of a virtual shop on eBay is appealing, it will only work when 
goods are on the shelves and available for immediate delivery. This aside, 
TAPR already maintains an on-line shop.
