"I'm not back." - Bill Harding, Twister
Considering this I made what I think is a resonable suggestion... don't run the promotions without the material in hand.
That is a reasonable suggestion. However, since the publishers are the ones that send the books, it's not really possible. I suppose if someone wanted to volinteer the cost of shipping the books we could have the publisher ship them to someone, and then we ship them ourselves. But currently, that is not an option.
If you are working hard and doing the best you can and all people do is come down on you, what motivation is there to keep working hard?
Frankly, I find it disgusting that I feel like I need to devulge personal heart breaking details to a group of people just so they might understand why they didn't get some free book about some silly programming language
It's easy to point fingers at someone else and blame them.
It's easy to jump to the wrong conclusion
But frankly, it will never be perfect, because we aren't perfect
if you don't have anything nice to say, you just don't say anything at all
Everyone's life has tragedies. It doesn't make them any less tragic. But you are not the only one.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
