Super Secret Link of Fantastic-ness

Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 12:26 AM

We're just days away from the new book, "Nerds on Parade" going on sale, so I thought I'd mention this for *new* Sheldonistas:

Whenever a new Sheldon book comes out, the limited-number Artist Editions are offered first to subscribers of the Sheldon newsletter. They get the Super Secret Link of Fantastic-ness days earlier than everyone else.

If you're interested in snagging an Artist Edition, take 8 seconds and sign up for the ol' newsletter.

(I should note: Current subscribers to Sheldon-Delivery-by-Email are already signed up for the newsletter, so no additional signups are needed.)

I give up.

I've signed up at least four times now, and yet I still never get anything until I ask you what happened to the email.

I'll just have to hope that there're any left when they go public.

It's true: Out of the 8,000 people who've signed up to get the e-mail, 50-100 don't get the mailing....every time.

We've looked through our mailing logs, and they are indeed going out, but for whatever reason, their mail server's or computer's spam software flags that mass-mailing as "spam", and won't let it through.

It's unfortunate, but there's not much more we can do, on our end.

(...still bums me out, tho'!)

This is just an idea, but it's an idea based on my many years of IT experience, and a couple of similar incidents. You might check to see if your (the reader's) ISP is blocking www.sheldoncomics.com. Sometimes, an ISP will block an innocent domain name because of stuff that isn't the fault of the domain name at all - say, a spammer is using them as a spambot, unbeknownst to them. Or maybe they only *think* they are. Ask the ISP, it might get results.

In Response to DaveKellett (#46035):

I'll survive.

I'm using Gmail, nothing local, so I'm pretty we'd have noticed by now if that was the issue. Thanks though.

Hee. I'll be paranoid about receiving the Newsletter until it arrives safely in my Inbox!
