Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

The number of people on that list doesn't matter. My previous point of it being a choice of the consumer still applies. If the consumer wishes to take their chances, that's it. Taking away that possibility in order to boost sales is simply not done.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Believe me, I understand. I'm one of the people on the waitlist right now.

Just let me sit on the list and close me out after it ships. They're doing this hoping I'll buy a reg. Which I won't.

Bingo. It will probably work too. Can't blame them for trying.

I don't understand why you'd rather be told no in the future instead of no now. When I guess they see it as a certainty the order just won't convert? But maybe that's personal preference and I'll never understand.
However, in saying this is a tactic to boost sales is a statement I'd need to see proof on. Using my critical thinking cap I don't think that quite literally telling someone we can't sell you this product is a tactic to boost sales.
