I still haven’t gotten my e-mail saying it shipped. I say that they got a massive order of them and went “shit we only had three of them! order more! order more!!” ---

I’ve stuck it in my bookmarks, maybe I’ll pull the trigger. Is there a specific episode which signals the JTS moment? ---

> [@etv78](#): > > Is there a specific episode which signals the JTS moment? No, but the last truly GREAT episode is the season 11 finale, “Behind the Laughter.” There are a few good ones afterwords (and even a few downright stinkers before it), but that’s my end point for the show. ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Just got another e-mail saying it was delayed another 30 (!!!) days. > > I hate all of you who have a book. Every. Single. One of you The best part is you have to sign in and TELL THEM YOU STILL WANT THE BOOK or they’ll automatically cancel your order. Really? The default is cancellation? Doesn’t their system tell them how many they have in stock, so they can stop taking orders when they run out? I click on the “I still want this” link, and nothing changes on their page. Why do I have a feeling I won’t be getting the book at all? ☹ ---

> [@August\_West](#): > > Where are you seeing the “I still want this” button? I got an email from B&N about my order, saying they would cancel the order unless I told them not to. I followed a link, put in my email address and order number, and then had “I still want this” and “Cancel” options. It worked the third time I did it, and I got an email telling me my order was extended by 30 days. ---

It does seem strange to oversell then send a message saying “Yo, you still want this?” ---
