permaculture

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

Hi all, I am an idiot it seems.

In February I was made aware that permaculturist Paul Wheaton was looking to 
make 4 DVD's about rocket stoves.
I am very interested in this technology and want to build one here and I was 
hoping to get all the latest technical information so that I could use my 
rocket stove for cooking and baking as well as heating.
Paul needed money for this project and so started a kickstarter. I signed in 
and promised $80 which was taken of my card in March. The kickstarter did so 
well for Paul that he was able to buy 200 acres of land to start a 
(permaculture) comune.

The DVD's seem to be ready now and I was hoping to get to see them. No such 
luck. I am told I paid for a "reward" and that reward is that my name will 
be on a DVD credits under the heading : " These people paid actual money to 
see their name here." I can only take that as an insult for I never had any 
interest in seeing my name anywhere. Seems that others wo paid more are 
getting a T-shirt as a reward.

Did anybody else here get the same treatment?
Anyway, if anybody is short of money it might not be a bad idea to launch a 
kickstarter. The sky is the limit.
