My question is, are you guaranteed a response? I viewed this on mobile and that wasn't immediately clear.

You don't pay if you don't get a response.
How does 21 measure the value of a response? I could send Horowitz an essay of an email and he could reply with "k", or some plagarized response. Would I still have to pay $100?
here is how his response looks like http://take.ms/UTHnJ
Thanks! What are your thoughts on the response? Did you follow up asking for an introduction or explaining better? Might make more sense to do so in a week or two when his inbox is less stuffed (and the price drops from $100)
No, of course not. It's like a vending machine. You hit the buttons, insert the money, and hope that something comes out of it.
It's like a GOOD vending machine so it doesn't cost you anything if you don't get the goods. You only pay if you get a response!
