I really don't mean to cause any problem, but I am feeling like the
stories on Rev books are changing. I was one of those who quickly
sent money for the mid-level membership in Dan's pro-club. That
membership, according to the press release dated Oct 23, 2003 included
all three volumes, with vol 2 coming in Jan, 2004, and vol 3 in April
2004.
Yep, deadlines shift. Happens all the time, John. Part of that was
because RunRev came along and offered to do a print version of the
books, which I had not anticipated. Part of it was because with new
major Rev releases in the work, it didn't seem useful to finish up
chapters that were going to be obsolete almost before the bits were
dry.
Now I find that instead of meeting the deadline that I paid for,
If your perception is that you paid for a deadline, then we've got some
serious miscommunication going on here. You paid for content. It's
still coming. It's behind schedule. So is RunRev. It's the nature of
the beast.
I'll need to wait until the full 2nd volume is complete as only level
3 gets the chapter by chapter releases. I quote from the press
release...The Member and Leader levels also include special features
like advance access to new chapters
If you bought the Member level at $137 (and I don't have any record of
your having done that, by the way, so you need to email me off list and
straighten that out) based on the press release and not on the clearly
stated offer on the Web site itself, I'll honor that and give you
pre-release access to the chapters as they are released. That wasn't
the intent, but if that's what you think you bought, I'm sure more
interested in having you be happy than in haggling over such details.
It sure sounds to me like paying up front for the full set would allow
me to get the draft versions as soon as they are distributed. Or was
my momma right when she said Never pay money for promises cause
that's all you'll get. I paid this fee, more than the advertised
official manual, because the official manual was not shipping. Now it
is, and the advertised Vol 2 is not.
There is NO connection between the manuals from RunRev, which are just
reference books that print out the contents of the online docs, and my
books, which are in-depth, step-by-step, tutorial teaching treatments
by topic. It's not likely anyone who ordered the manuals would see that
decision as precluding or obviating the value of buying my books. Or
vice versa for that matter.
All this seems confusing. Have I misread things, or was I mislead?
If you feel misled as to my books I want to fix that. And I will.
