[Introspective] Story

[Smiley]

It's no surprise that Michael delivered, as he has always been a stand-up guy...

...but at least 16 other people (asuming they all arrived) should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Although I'm in the UK, I couldn't bring myself to buy the haterag they call The Mail, but a very kind list member (you know who you are) helped me out with a cd...and hasn't even responded to my offer to do something in return, but the offer still stands.

Shame on you all, for abusing the kindness of others.

Hello!

Some of you may remember that I offered to buy The Mail On Sunday for introspective readers outside of the UK or who were unable to obtain a copy of Story.  Some eighteen people contacted me and I duly organised and sent out the CDs, mainly to North America but also to several countries around the globe.

I asked not for money but for some simple surprise in return.

Only ONE person, Schwenko, sent me something in return; a fine parcel of Canadian candy.  No-one else bothered and only one other person saw fit to thank me by email.  I'm not complaining about the costs involved.  After all, it was only £1.50 per newspaper but times this by eighteen and add on top the cost of stationery and postage...

The money is a side issue.

What's really broken my heart is that people can be like this.  I shall never offer to help anyone out in this fashion again.

I thought about naming and shaming offenders here but that's really not nice.  I'm doing my level best not to sink to their level.  However, if something like this happens again, ie a UK only release and requests go out for assistance, I shall name those concerned in the hope that someone else doesn't fall into the same trap as I did.  Or perhaps warn to receive funds before anything's bought and posted off.

It's all rather sad, actually.
