Why I Cant Answer Your Email

I'm sorry, but I can't answer your email.
One reason I can't is because I get too much. Over 100 await me each morning offering cheap prescription drugs, Viagra, Rolex knock-offs, money from Uganda, etc., so too much of my time goes to dumping these each day before I can get down to work. I receive all this spam because my e-address is widely published on this newsletter, my web sites, and the articles I share with other online publishers.
The rest of my time is spent: a) publishing TIP, finding new freebies, alerting you to them, emailing you, maintaining the TIP website, etc.; b) earning a few bucks; and c) leisure.
So to answer your email I must steal time from these activities.
Because I can't answer your email, I've included directions at the bottom of each issue on things you may want to do. The assumption is that you're moderately intelligent, and can read and understand stuff like "Change Address" and "Unsubscribe" if you want to do either, but from some of the email I get this assumption may be invalid.
I can't fix your computer either, so telling me that you're unable to download an ebook is something you'll have to fix without me. And asking me to send you some ebooks you missed not only imposes on my limited time, but is unfair to those who did download them.
Your best bet is to have friends and colleagues subscribe to TIP too, so that if you miss an ebook download, or don't know how to do something involving TIP, you can ask them for help.
