About a month after I got my machine, I got another package from WLL that had the bottomless PF and a few other bits. I wasn't expecting it, but they emailed me saying it was part of the package and just hadn't been in stock when I bought my machine. I thus assumed it was part of the package, maybe the WLL rep who follows the list can clarify. On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 8:22 AM, Ben McCafferty <[email protected]> wrote: > Really?
