Y...I am shocked that people could be soooo rude!!! You are not a mass producer but an artist and as such can only make so many pairs. Not because you want to jack up the price, but because it takes TIME. Hey, if the prices were out of reach, how would so many people be inundating you with orders for them???<BR/><BR/>You do a brilliant job and I'm surprised you do as much as you do.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if you do your midnight madness so that emails recieved from 11-12 will be randomly selected from. That way it spreads the emails out over the time, it won't crash your email and there is no reason why people with slow email would be disadvantaged.Austysmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346287173611932120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33251761.post-31356762183270048132007-10-02T16:15:00.000-04:002007-10-02T16:15:00.000-04:00How about not allowing others to stalk midnight e-...How about not allowing others to stalk midnight e-mail spots, and choosing names however you see fit (random drawing of numbers through random.org, etc.)?

GET OVER YOURSELF! This is a WAHM business not a multi-million dollar company. I hardly see how a Mama wanting to pay the bills to stay home with her little is a master-plan to start a crooked operation. Sheesh. Crankypants is not the name of the next 007 villain. Amy, ROCK on!

I cannot believe the rudeness. I have been ...wow! I cannot believe the rudeness. I have been trying for almost a year to get a pair of crankys. I too realize I might not get my hands on any before DD gets out of dipes - and yet you are not to blame at all. I am sorry that not everyone sees it that way and instead of being thankful that they even have the opportunity to try for a pair - they are being rude and disrespectful instead. Thank you Amy for offering up such a great product at a great price.

You are only one person, and even though a lot of people get really intense about this on the 1st, I know in a couple of days everyone will realize you are only one person and you are in a difficult spot right now.
