One netiquette question I've wondered about in the past: when emailing an extremely busy person to ask for something, if they send you a message letting you know they've done what you ask, is it better to reply, thanking them (thu

I think part of the problem is that deciding to be a backer has a mental cost (decisions are painful). If a project has a very low chance of success, perhaps the cost of the process of decision making outweighs the small chance of a potenti
