<< Hey, what did you expect from mail order?  The whole idea is notoriously
 slow, because if one person in the chain screws up, the whole chain gets
 all tangled up (yeah, it's a lousy metaphor, I just got home from work!
 *G*)  I work for a courier in the mail section, so I KNOW how easy it is
 to lose/misdirect/missort/accidentally drop under a rapidly moving
 forklift mail... *shrug*
 If you don't want your Ltd Edition, can I have it?  Please?  *G*

Yeah. Remember all those things you used to see on the back of cereal boxes?
You know, where you send 'em five box tops and a buck fifty and they mail you
a really kewl toy, only it took six weeks to get it? 

Well, it's like that, only without the box tops, and a great deal more prompt.
(Of course, you don't get any Captain Crunch either.)

See how much better you have it now?

cool.)
