A matter of degree, then - but the underlying point is still valid. Even if posting that I felt "screwed by Tor" was excessive (and I'm willing to admit it was), discerning the basic point should still have been possible. Instead, we get the, "Hey! Look at this guy who thinks we cheated him out of something by giving away FREE E-BOOKS! Oh, har har har!" reaction. Ok - but I wasn't complaining about being given free e-books. Re-read, Mr. Editor.

Or, maybe I'm the only guy in the world who reacts this way. I also get mad when a great show ends with "see Part Two next week". I just spent an entire hour watching a "free" show (spent vs. free, get it?) expecting it to wrap up, and it ends NOW?

It's worse with books. It's worse with e-books, and the Part 2 isn't coming next week. It may not be coming at all. The people to ask aren't answering, and treat you like an idiot for asking.

Just me? Really?
