Whether or not I agree with the choice of how to proceed (I mostly do), I have the utmost respect for sticking to your guns on this so well. So many people would make an excuse to extend the waiting or something, but you've kept your word to yourself (as well as us of course) and are being upfront about it all. I hope you get your shit back sooner than later, but if not, I'll be here waiting until the day this project stops (with all hopes that it sees the finish you envision for it).
