Well, I had my show last week (ya know, the THOUSAND DOLLAR ONE!:D ) and one of the customers took a book home to her mom.

The mom e-mailed me ... seems she TRIED to go to the website and instead punched in .COM/mynamehere.

I e-mailed her to say it is actually dot BIZ but who knows who else may have tried to order?

AAAACCK!
 
I know when I try a site and it doesn't work, I double check the addy to make sure. Hopefully others do that too!
 
This thread title sounds like a bad movie title, like a never-seen sequel to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
