I think it's kind of natural for people to start getting a little antsy this close to the pre-order date. Pandora is a hot commodity, and there is a fair deal of "faith" involved in the project.
Maybe some people come off as intense, but that's because they love the product and believe in the community. I certainly can't fault them for their passion.
That being said, it really is hitting crunch time, and craigix and his battalion of ninjas are grinding as hard as they can to get Pandora ready. Too much forum distraction can't be a good thing.
We're 4 days away from the pre-order date. I think people are really going to have to make a decision: With the information I have now, am I comfortable shelling out 330$ (sorry, I'm Canadian) for a product that will arrive in 9-10 weeks, with a certain level of risk? For me, in my personal situation, the answer is yes. Some people, even though they might really want a Pandora, may find that they cn't commit to that, and that's fine. The next batch is not all that far away.
