The offer died.
They should not wait forever.

Call it off

One word, and a second yes

The same list, and then a question you have to answer twice.

Calling off sits next to sending, on the same list, and it does not happen on the first press: it shows you which one it is and how many people are about to be written to, and only then asks you to confirm. It is a number of people, and there is no undo.

That second question is not politeness. You are choosing by typing a number, which is the easiest thing in the world to get wrong, and a 4 where you meant a 3 spends somebody else’s audience with no way back.

Then everyone waiting is told it is not coming, and their sign-up closes. That message is the one they were promised: one sign-up, one message. This is the version of it where there is nothing to deliver.

There is no undo. Their sign-ups are spent and we have already forgotten who they were, so there is nobody to give back. If the offer returns, send the same link again: it comes in as a new alert, with a new page and a new review.

What they get

The one message with no link in it

They asked for one thing. This is us telling them it is not coming.

It carries the title and your sentence, word for word, because after a month that is the only way they know which one you mean. And it says who called it off: you, by name, or your channel’s address.

Your link is not in it, and that is deliberate. If it were, calling off would be a way of pushing your link to everyone who said yes, whenever you liked and without keeping any promise. The only link in it is your alert’s page, which is their receipt.

Nor does it carry a reason written by you. The only words of yours that ever reach them are the ones somebody reviewed, and a note typed in a hurry is not. What it says is the fact: it was called off.
