You all are really building up an exceedingly minor personality
quirk of mine (the quirk by which I don't feel comfortable buying stuff
online) into something ... I don't know, but fussy. Yes, I'm a lot
happier when I can buy stuff in an actual store. I know that's not the
Cinematic Titanic sales model and I know that's not workable for them
on terms that let them stay in business. I understand that. Still, it
is a rare event for me to buy something online --- I think I broke the
``three purchases'' barrier last year and that only with the donation
to Lawrence Watt-Evans's new serialized novel --- and even when I do
want something I have to work myself up to it. This isn't a fault of
Cinematic Titanic or the Internet in general. It's just one of my
enormous number of quirks bundled together into a personality.
