Article delivery
Today’s internet is hobbled by spammers. Personally, I’d like to make it a felony punishable by a year in prison licking envelopes 24X7, with breakfast, lunch and dinner consisting of the real thing, though I’m not entirely cold-hearted—Spam Spread and Spam Hot and Spicy could be allowed too, perhaps on holidays.
Though infrequent, I do sometimes receive indignant emails from buyers of my paid reviews, who unfortunately (for both of us) haven’t checked their “spam” box after paying for an article. Here is one recent email verbatim:
I ordered your Sharpness article 2 days ago thru Paypal and have heard nothing back from you even though you say your response is 24 hours. Please tell me how to download the article I paid for.
I take delivery of Pro Reviews very seriously. In this case, a response was sent 2 hours 5 minutes after receipt of the PayPal confirmation. In such cases, I respond (again) with multiple responses through multiple mail servers, hoping the buyer will think of checking the same spam box! (And it’s simply amazing how in most cases no further contact information is provided other than the original problem email address.) In the future, this web site will move to an online “instant access” approach to forestall such headaches.
