So what job do you do again?

What's that old adage? A watched magazine never publishes.

A truly disciplined and dedicated publisher would do just that. 

Just shows you how good he is that you don't know that he does that.  

Anyway, what's your point? "Don't talk on the forums until the issue is printed?" 

Setting aside the fact that there is no equivalence between you and Bill Gates by any stretch of the imagination, he doesn't sit at his breakfast table 10 hours a day F5ing on forums, ready to pounce on any hint of character assassination.  He actually goes to work.

I wish it were that simple. It's like asking Bill Gates "Hey Bill, if you skipped breakfast today, will the new Windows come out faster?"

Matthew, do you think the magazine would come out faster if you spent less time circle-jerking around on the forums? 

I'd like to receive my copy of the mag as well, but I'm not going around making claims that it will never be published, while still holding a pre-order and not asking for a refund. 

Maybe it would be better to write predictive articles like "Bitcoin finally hits $100" and "Greece officially adopts Bitcoin." Then print the magazine and ship it when those come true.  

I think we can all agree on the fairness of this.

Your sentiment is well received.

Technically impossible, and also a ridiculous request for someone who purchased a PRE-ORDER of something with no deadlines. You'll get yours when everyone gets theirs. Have a nice day.

P.S. Any actual issues that may arise will be handled when submitted to the appropriate channel (emailing [email protected] ). This advertisement thread for a pre-order of the magazine should not be mistaken for an official line of communication. Companies in Bitcoin that use bitcointalk.org as their personal customer service forum are absolutely ridiculous. This thread is mine, not the magazine's. It could be about throwing Bonzai kittens down garbage disposals for all I care, and for that reason, if you insist on trolling like you've been doing, your off-topic messages will continue to be removed by mods or met with counter-trolling by someone much better at it than you.

Hello there apologist! Please bend over a bit more for Matthew, would you?

I don't think you understand, so I will explain again:

I paid for a product, and out of principle, I want the product I paid for.

I do not want my money back, and I do not want excuses.

So deliver, and do it yesterday.

WE MUST BE TERRORISTS LAWL

I, for one, applaud Matthew for speaking his mind.  There's too much political-correctness in the world today.  Honestly and bluntness are in stark contrast of the corporate leaders of the world, who say only what the audience wishes to hear.

Also, would have to agree, Dansker, that the claim that the magazine will never be published is rather empty if you still have said magazine on pre-order.  Frankly, you deserve the way Matthew is talking to you.

And again! If this is how they treat paying customers, you have to wonder how they would treat other people, huh?

We can keep this going all day if you'd like. I absolutely love teaching people lessons. Gotta make the earth a better place and all that, even if it's one Dansker at a time. I'm waiting on you to ask for your refund for what you claim to be a scam and fictitious. If it's fictitious, why are you waiting? If you're so sure that it's fictitious, wouldn't waiting be the absolute most illogical thing to do?

It's easier to just bash things you don't understand from a distance than be publicly embarrassed when everyone else gets their issues in the mail, isn't it? That's why you won't ask for a refund, because you know there is a very high chance you're completely wrong, and you're leaving room for some backtracking later to say that you "really believed in it but just didn't agree with the way it was being made" or some typical garbage. Additionally, you are angry at me because I'm not letting you get away with it.

When you're not slandering an entire team based on your own personal fears and biases of one person (me), I'll start taking you seriously on a forum that I have no legal rights or privileges to represent the magazine on. Ready for a refund yet or did you want to bark some more about how my personality has anything to do with designers designing, printers printing and mailmen delivering mail?

Thanks for high-lighting your arrogance again!

You must have the consumerism disease that makes you think that producers don't have opinions. When a customer has a complaint regardless of what business of mine it is with, I always deal with the complaint the best way I know how-- by fixing the problem that caused the complaint in the first place. In this particular situation, the complaining keeps coming but the solution was already given-- "wait for it".

By making the decision to wait, you are telling me that you believe that a product will be delivered. By not asking questions, but rather continuously lying about the product you hypocritically purchased, you're telling me you have no sense. I don't reason with people who have no sense, customer or not. Maybe that's why I'm not the customer accounts manager at Bitcoin Magazine. I recommend contacting them if you want a canned socially correct response to your annoyances.

Good day Sir!... I said Good day!

You're full of yourself.

I would like everyone to pay attention to the arrogance on display here against a paying customer from a leading member of the so far fictitious magazine.

Also: If you think I am using alter egos or have an evil twin, then you are delusional.

Mods/admins feel free to verify that I only have this account.

The second issue, June 512, will have an in-depth interview with the RaiGoneWild dolls as seen on rollit.com.



The oncanoe version will feature an exposé of Elato, the island hopper of Yap, spending nothing but Stoned Money during his trek.

Funny as hell. It seems my previous kudos was deleted. Bruno, you crack me up.
