People waiting for JohnZ 's giveaways need to chill out!

The man, out of the goodness of his heart, started a GIVEAWAY contest. Things went well. Then, he was AWOL for a while. Peolple started wondering and speculating. Turned out he had major family crises (if I remember correctly) when he returned to the forum to let us know. Maybe his problems/crises are on-going and require his attention more than a little coin contest.
So what if it's been 8 weeks, and you haven't received the prizes. It might be another 8 weeks or longer, whatver it takes until JohnZ 's major problems resolve. What 's more inportant? Family matters or coins?
Chill out, people!image
Sorry for the ranting, just got to get it off my chest.
Flame away.

    No flames here. I agree, give the guy some time to get his personal issues cleared up.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    but then there would be nothing to p*ss and moan about.

    I agree wholeheartedly, as do a number of others. So much so, that a fund was started to buy the stuff and distribute it just to pacify the whiners - some of who were looking for those prizes AND prizes from John Z AND prizes from another generous forum member who was wiling to replace the prizes all himself.

    Leave the poor guy alonme already. He either will or he won't, and if he doesn't, it sounds like there is a really good reason why.

    ER

    While I'm chillin' PLEASE explain to me since you are acting as JohnZ's apologist why did he say he mailed, not that he was going to mail, but that he did mail the prizes weeks before any of his problems even happened?

    If it's going to take until next year, fine, then tell people that! Don't keep saying it's in the mail when it's not!! Especially to kids!!!

    Sarasota,

    Boy, you've got answers to questions that haven't even been answered (oops, I meant asked)
