Still don't have mine, "acumen".

No offense taken. I did pay extra for priority mail so this may have made a difference. I was pleasantly surprised that I received 3 email updates from Tom during the coarse of our transaction and the impression I got was that he was sincere and did exactly what he promised. I would imagine that everyone would receive theirs soon. Just my opinion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I think Tom should give everyone who mailed in Payment between Jan.02-June 02 a free years subscribtion.Meaning they are already compt.for the year 04.Or at least a Free T-shirt included.
Seems fair as he held onto our payment for almost a full year,while someone who can bid on one on Ebay this month recieved their issue already and ahead of most everyone else... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Obviously, Tom Shaw has either small feet or a large mouth, as the former seems to have fit very easily into the latter.

Still don't have mine either [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Stefano has it right, a definite lack of business acumen [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Richard, my apologies also, as this is NOT directed at you [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Maybe we should consider that our early payments helped Tom invest his time, efforts, AND his own money to get this magazine off the ground. If it's as good as we all hope, we will have had a part in it. Helping in the success of a magazine so many have been crying for should be comp enough, IMO.

Mike, I like you. I look forward to having a beer with you at scr6, even if they only have rolling rock.

Mike,

A little good natured grumbling aside, I don't think anyone here has a real problem with it taking so long for the magazine to come out. Look back at the timeline on the posts here. The real P&M started when the thing became available on eBay before the vast majority of "Charter Subscribers" had received their issues. That's where he crossed the line! You could see it coming last week, and sure enough, it's now documented right here that eBay buyers have received theirs before subscribers. Wrong, plain & simple.

I hear you, but.... As far as "acumen", that's what the magazine is doin'. It's a cum in! Be patient. If it sucks, Shor will refund your money. You'll just have to take it in Rolling Rock that he steals from BKH.

Not getting the magazine in the hands of those who were there from the begining prior to listing, selling and shipping off ebay is bad business plain and simple, no matter how good the magazine may be. It is not the $$$$'s at issue it is the principle.
