Maybe because I remember a publishing schedule when I prepaid the fee
that has somehow faded away while another 'opportunity' emerged?
Maybe because I can't see any disadvantage to the publishers whether
they send me the information that I have already paid for a piece at a
time or waiting even longer than initially indicated for the full
product? No shipping, no printing costs - just move the names to the
other list.
As I remember the leadership level offer, it was early access to draft
versions of the chapters, not the finished chapters one at a time. That
was a change in the advertised and entered agreement. That's not fair,
and I resent it. All I know is that I would never treat pre-paying,
early supporters this way and expect any further support or
encouragement.
