You can go further with this successful Beagleboard's "style" (it's all about community....). I'm sure about this been a real milestone in the embedded industry and SoC+Linux history, you can compare it with what Microchip have done with the MCUs in the 90's.
Keep doing this great work,

yes, it's weird, i tagged along some other components with the
beagleboard order. and those components got stuck in the same ship. :>

Gerald, there is only one solution, you need to post a daily mail here,
saying:
"everything is fine, D/K is wrong, go order, be happy, peace for all"

official register a twitter account for the BB but, sadly, some
private person already grabbed that twitter name. darn.
