Le me assure you that the people complaining in this thread are mostly not the people with deep pockets, if any of them are present at all. These people order copies of special edition books years in advance of publication, like those reprints of Clarke Ashton Smith's works that we're all waiting for to be produced, which illustrates their patience and understanding. In fact, several of them have posted or emailed that they wouldn't mind being put to the end of the line in the roll out of orders if Rob is having health problems.

enshook wrote:As for it snowing somehow being a BS issue for some of you, try finding a plow that will remove a 6 foot high city produced embankment at the end of a one end alley in a relatively remote industrial area, with a new owner who is apparently an absent landlord. It took two weeks to even get a plow that would agree it could move it and for double the price in order to get them all the way down from the far north end of the city. One plow even arrived and refused.

I am way behind with these and I apologize.My doctor ordered me to slow down and go at a certain speed, which I am far outstripping at this time, betting upon what used to be a good constitution of mine.I do find myself sleeping extra long and taking more naps as of the last week as I have been pushing getting so many things done.I just ask the supporters of PPP to add a little more patience as I am mailing orders about every three days and all of them up until a month ago will be fulfilled in the next 10-14 days.That's the best I can do. My energy has returned, but if not properly nursed with me being a one-man show here, I'll be in trouble again. I do hope everyone understands and my apologies for the unforseen health issues that have overtaken me, but I'm working through it with help from others.Rob Kuntz

I personally am on the hook in this mess for $170 this go around and roughly another $200 for the previous 2 modules put out. Aneoth on his own is on the hook for at least $300 for his 2 LE copies. Aside from that when I look at the sponsor lists I know and could potentially have a very strong say with about 75% of those people. Do you honestly think that with this debacle as it stands right now, along with this arrogant presumptuous tripe that you are spouting in conjunction with my own and several other subtle nudgings, that these people are going to continue give Rob money??? If you do you are completely and utterly deluded. On top of that, are you the one ponying up my refund? Let me know and I'll give you my home address, since you seem to think that my contributions are small. Its only $170 right?Oh yeah, and one last thing. Why is it again that Rob hasn't paid his people yet?

Me, I ordered the BC module and expect the product to be delivered now that Rob is somewhat back on his feet.But frankly, I care less about a paper module or money than I do about the health and well being of a fellow human being. One who has given quite to bit to this industry and continues to work hard at contributing.I've purchased Cairn, Tower and the Living Room. All products were excellently produced and delivered in a very timely fashion for a very reasonable price. So to me, Rob has been stellar in running PPP up until this unfortunate disaster with regard to his health and well being. So my feeling is, I'll cut him mucho slack and be a little patient and I know I'll get my module.

As to how the communication problem occurred, let's just note that both were at fault. It wasn't as if Kenzer couldn't have exercised several methods of contacting Rob through intermediaries to express this change. Rob was significantly surprised and shocked. He would have preferred to see his version of it entirely hit the presses. I believe that half of the manuscript is now owned by a collector who frequents here.Thanks for taking the time!
