Helping others makes you a "nut."  Defending someone for helping others "Deifies" them, and "ignores the big problems."

Remember:  Leave all your problems to CalTrans and the South Pasadena Police.  You're not smart enough to fix a problem.

Be well, citizen.

Rogue is in stores nationwide, on Amazon, on BN.com, everywhere.  If you don't already have an order in, now is the time to do so--sales velocity in the first week is what counts for bestseller ranking.  Amazon has it at about 40% off the cover price, which is a great deal.

Rogue is a sequel to The Weapon, but it does stand alone, so you don't need to buy The Weapon as well if you don't already have it.  Of course, if you choose to buy it, Baen Books and I will completely understand.

Also, this weekend I will be personalizing the signed, plated edition of Rogue at Uncle Hugo's SF Bookstore in Minneapolis http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/index.shtml.  They still have a few copies you can order, and I'll be happy to personalize them if you tell them how.  And if you're in the Minneapolis area, I'll be glad to meet with you at the store.  Stop on by.

Hi John "the Blacksmith",

Thought you might like to know we created a discussion forum over the weekend! It helps educate uninformed consumers about the custom process (we don't appreciate "tire-kickers" either), and you can also read feedback about the CustomMade website from current members.

The D.C. earthquake must have rattled some consumer pockets loose -- we have a large amount of open jobs and inquiries waiting to be met. If you want to gain access to the largest online resource for consumer supplied custom jobs then there is only one week left in our end of summer special!

We're offering $250 and $150 OFF to get started with us in for the year until August 31st. You can review the Annual Memberships here.

Looking for extra business? Let me know what I can do to get you on board this week!

Best, Steve

no, I wouldn't like to know, and don't care.  Fuck off.

Mike,If you really don't care you can tell me nicely. It is just an email and I sent it to you because I thought we could enhance your custom blade and sheath business. It is just a footnote on your site and deserves more attention than it is getting.  We would also be a new channel of knife collectors for you.  You should give it a bit of thought before you just tell me to fuck off. At least as much thought as I gave you.

And yet you have sent me yet another spam after this.  Doesn't seem like you're giving it any thought at all.

My record is 3 minutes from posting to sale.  I have no need of more traffic.  I can't keep up with the orders I have.  I also don't need help with my best-selling novels, nor my product reviews and evaluations of firearms.  What I do need help with is getting less unsolicited email that doesn't put money in my pocket.  Can you help with that?

Mike
