I did apologise in advance for causing annoyance.
In terms of card collecting, I thoroughly enjoy the 'thrill of the chase' in attempt to secure decks for my collection. I am happy to set my alarm for ridiculous o'clock if needs be (I am outside most of you guys in the USA). Sad, I know, but like you all, my love of this collecting hobby takes over at times (and my first hobby love is actually sleight of hand card magic).
Don - as I mentioned, people have expectations, particularly of someone at DB's level; clear communication is great thing, and I do believe that people (i.e. 'we') should have been notified one way or another over and beyond the tweet posted telling all the site would be up and running soon. Axiomatically there is some issue, but a simple explanation to people who are prepared to pay hard earned money for the products expected would have been nice. As I said, this could have been issued by PR; for an internationally recognised star, I ignorantly assumed more than "a couple of people" would be involved.
As for all the 'seriously people' type remarks, as I said above, my love for this hobby takes over at times. But not so much as my love for my Wife and Son who are the real primary love in my life. So,
Don - I am certainly not clamouring for his cards (the term which I find rather offensive), but I did expect a 'promise' to be upheld.
CardPlayer - No, it is not remotely close to the end of the world if I do not buy a deck of playing cards, nor was I 'camped' in front of my PC, but I did float in and out rather too frequently and in some unorthodox hours to keep checking. If I recollect aren't you the guy that risks paying rent and food on the table at times to purchase 'end of the word playing cards'? Your hypocrisy seems to know no bounds.
