Email from Matter (merged)

I got the email too. I hope it doesn't come while I am on holiday though.

just read this on their website...

"We sent an email to all our subscribers on Thursday which, from the replies, might have confused a few people. Quite understandably, some of you, even though you’re pleased to hear another Matter box is coming, are wondering why you didn’t get the first edition.
Matter is published like a magazine (in limited numbers), so they all go out at the same time. The pilot edition went out to a very limited audience (944) in February. The next (which is really the first) edition–which was originally planned for the summer–is coming in October. A bit longer than anticipated.
The problem would seem to be semantic. I think we confused people by not making clear the distinction between the pilot edition–which had already gone out and was no longer available–and the first edition, which was (and is still) yet to come.
The Americans faced this problem with Hurricanes; it was difficult to keep track of various storms by date and location and much easier when they were given names. This problem only became evident after years of suffering numerous storms. We’ve managed it with one box.
Maybe to reduce the confusion, maybe we’d better give the next one a name."


so if (like me) you didn't get one of the first, don't panic.


can't waiti til october!

No we all understood the pilot was the pilot and that the summer was due to be the first... where they went wrong was saying in the email "the first box" was such a huge success blah blah blah... they used the wrong terms there after the delay making out the summer one was gone (and seemingly to 30,000 people) so of course we all emailed them wondering what the hell was going on!

okay rereading that does say the pilot but still pilot means first, they should have said the february box or something or mentioned not the origonally planned first launch or anything along those lines making it clear lol!
