Extremely unusual? I like it already.

We really have to cut back our workload. Last year was our second biggest year ever, with just two of us handling orders. We're extremely grateful and at the same time quite worn out. I am already a couple years past the usual retirement age and I'd like to stay inspired to offer these kits for five more years. So we felt the best way to address the issue was to cut the items that sold in the smallest quantities, in order to affect the fewest customers. That way we cut our workload to something more mangageable and hopefully keep most folks happy.

I understand, Doc. I’m not trying to give you a hard time.

Doc B.:
I didn't think you were at all, just felt that you guys deserved to know the reasoning behind the kit retirements. Part of it is workload and part of it is thinning out kits that parts supply has been problematic for.

Doc,
As I've posted before, we on the other side of the order button forget, or can't even fathom, what it takes to put together a couple hundred pieces in a compact, secure package and get it out the door along with dozens (?) of similar boxes - Oh and all that other stuff that is required to run a business.
Anyway, thanks for being so forthcoming about your ideas/hopes/plans for the future of an important part of our favorite hobby.
Karl
