Title: Fell?
Post by: Entsuropi on October 01, 2003, 07:09:39 AM
Hey. I was just wondering when, if ever, you were intending on starting to reply to emails? I mean, maybe its just me, but here in Britain we regard it as common courtesy to respond to people when they ask you something. And its pretty annoying when i am offering to review something nobody else is, and request the books in the line so that i can review them, and get nothing but a wall of silence from you. Not exactly the way to encourage more reviews.

If you don't want me to continue reviewing the WAB line then fine, don't ask for review materials from them. But at least SAY SO! I am not a clairvoyant here, i need to have a response from people to know what they think of something. If it is so tragically difficult for you to actually put in the 30 seconds of effort to send a reply back, then i guess i'll have to forget the concept of asking you things in emails and stick to asking people who know how to click the "reply" button.

While not replying to an e-mail can be considered rude, it is often good to give the other party the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps Fell had a computer crash or a virus or something or he might have been out finding a job.

Cursing at the other party is not a good way to get them to respond quickly either.

As usual, there are two sides to this story.
Yeah, Entropy, cussing Fell out isn't going to make him happy (even though he's generally so nice that he will respond to it at least).
However, I happen to know that Fell has taken about a month to respond to this. So I really see why Entropy is upset
On the other other hand, I already have told Entropy that I sent those emails re: WAB. So I have no idea why he's still bothering Fell about it. They've been contacted. If they don't reply, it has nothing to do with what TWG is doing. I'll let you know when I hear something.

I thought you said you couldn't email about WAB, since fell handled GW?

Saint has asked me about several companies, and I'm still looking for my list (I lost it when I unpacked my office) so that I can tell him what's going on. WAB was not among them, however. And yes, American GW has always gone through me, but since anything that gets sent to you will likely come from the UK GW, Saint is free to request it for you.

Well, thats nice. Just a pity you felt the need to bottle this information up until i had to rant about it.
