I understand the frustration of starting a kit that fails to deliver the goods. I've started my share of kits that bombed.

If one has purchased the kit, anger may be justified. Designers and publishers who ask us to pay for their kits have an added responsibility to ensure that we get what was promised. Still, errors can happen.

When it's a free kit, we owe the designer something, if only the courtesy of providing a little constructive criticism. As AirDave points out, gremlins can creep in at any stage of the process and no designer puts out a kit that is purposely designed to fail.

Designers who offer us their kits for purchase or free do us a great favor by expanding our choices and enlarging the hobby. We should think very carefully before telling any designer to pack up his creativity and go home.
