SO... because I tipped off people and built up a lot of enthusiasm for the sale... the ad was withheld and NOT run to punish me.
I cannot argue with FRYs on this. They have their own ways.
I apologize for trying to build up enthusiasm which I thought FRYs and MobileRead Forum people would appreciate. FRYs did NOT appreciate my efforts.
I now have to shut up and say nothing further. I am sorry.

So they couldn't have told you this? You might not can argue with Fry's on this, but I darn sure can! That was just wrong. They should have appreciated it. They weren't going to target MR people with the ads, and where else are you going to find this kind of concentration of people who would be interested in that sale? That is just ridiculous. Get out of that contract if you can, Robert...and when you get a new one with a different retailer, make sure it doesn't have any "hidden" crap like that in it.
