can i get a free book by tonight from you ?

Hello there my dear, Can you get a free book from me… by tonight? Well, by now the answer should be obvious… but if it is still a little vague, then let me say firmly that the answer to this question is, “No… you cannot get a free book from me by tonight.” There are several reasons for this…. The first is that I do not respond to questions in anything resembling a “by tonight” sort of time frame. I do this in my extra time, whenever I can, but I am by no means super quick and speedy when it comes to getting through this all. So, there is often a great deal of lag time between when people post their questions and when I can respond to them…. I wish this was not the case. I wish that I could respond to every single question the day they were posted… but well, I have a family and a life and work for a living and all of those other things that call more pressingly on my time and energies (and take priority)…. The other reason is that, while I am happy to help people out the best I can, I am not independently wealthy. I have a mortgage and bills just like everyone else. So, no, I am not going to air mail you a free book….
