I'm not sure what the deleted post was about, but as a backer of both yours and Linda's projects there is quite a bit of difference. You did an excellent job communicating with us exactly what was going on, and why delays were happening. At the end of the campaign I received exactly what I paid for - not some excuse why I was paying an extra $20 to receive it only a month before everyone else can get it on Amazon much cheaper.
I never questioned for a second my purchase of "Hello Web App", but the little girl that I bought "Hello Ruby" for is going to be almost too old for the book finally being delivered.
