Guessing it was just a miscommunication on how you read the question asking about the status. Happens all the time with the written word where it’s hard to read tone and whatnot.

DM would be the proper form to ask his question.

Look, had I known this was going to turn into a morality play, I never would have asked. I know they're free. I am not concerned about ever getting them, like you, either. In fact, like you, I am giving these to a fellow I know who likes old cards, but doesn't have the means to buy cards like you and I have. I have given him most of my dupes already. I simply wanted to know if the free cards, an extremely generous offer, were coming. If it was bad form, and at 64 I honestly don't care to be schooled up about such things anymore, so be it, apologies, it's done. I can't undo asking.

Please read the above. I'm sorry I ever asked for free cards. I do not need or even want them at this point. A very kind gesture by the OP. Now, kindly let it go. Finally, if I ever offer up free cards, and you don't hear back from me, feel free to ask any way you prefer...email, PM, post here for all the world to see, whatever. I promise I won't go to pieces or get all judgemental or question your sanity or generally feel offended in any way. If folks are this fragile when it comes to "good form", then to Hell with it. You keep your cards, I'll happily keep mine.

Yea, making way too much of this, seems to me its unnec

It seems that the word "FREE" brings out the worst in people.

When I first read this post I thought that this was such a very nice gesture by the original poster . Than all of a sudden the post turned ugly like so many posts before. Can’t we all just get along
Happy New Year.

I agree. While I'm sure it wasn't meant this way, some could see it as calling the sender out.

Can you please read my post above yours, and let this go? Thank you.

The guy has a right to ask if his cards shipped. That’s all he did and then the self righteous police took over.

Of course he does but you don't think thats better left to private messages?

[Kutcher55]

Yes better in private. But not ‘sad what is this world coming to’ when he asked in public.
