Why I am not in sales at Robots and Pencils

We get some nice emails and some not so nice emails regarding World Explorer made for Minecraft. I have to sit on my hands most of the time to keep from sending emails in response to some of the nasty or unintelligent comments. (We had someone send us an email asking for a 2$ refund because she missed the sale. (And her email signature had something professional on it.) Michael forbid me from responding to her. 

This post reflects a conversation between myself and a Minecraft fan. Not so much a fan of World Explorer for Minecraft (our iPhone / iPad app that allows users to explore and create their desktop worlds on their iPhone), but I'm confident we'll make him happy in the long run. Many users expect the app to be a complete replica of the game, but that is not the case. World Explorer for Minecraft is a tool to compliment the desktop game.
