About 2% of human kind are Ass Holes. That 2% will not pay you - or anyone
else.
It is my firm belief that we must not penalize the 98% because of the 2%.
You have to plan for the 2% and deal with them.
This guy could have been in an accident, had a death in the family, or maybe
he just will not pay anyone. I would allow enough time and then warn the
list. No bad deed should go unrewarded!
But, don't make this change the way you deal with others - if you do, the
bad guy wins.

Subject: Looks like I've been ripped off...
Fellow listers:
I recently tried to help a fellow lister by *GIVING* him an extra soft
top I had for his Spitfire, with the understanding that he would pay for
shipping my top and frame to him, and would ship his old bare frame back
to me as an exchange for mine... This I did only for the good karma and
nothing else.
Well, here it is, over a month later and I've still not heard from him,
no thank you, no money to cover the fifty bucks I laid out to ship the
damned thing to friggin canada, no exchange frame. I know that the top
was delivered (confirmed by the shipper) and I have sent the individual
a couple of messages asking him to meet his obligations...
So what's the protocol here? Do I name the bastard in hope of sparing
another lister the displeasure of dealing with this schmuck? I have
done several transactions with others on the list and have never had any
problem before, so I'm sort of at a loss..
Thanks,
John
PS... If you're out there lurking ANDY (no, not Mace) it's not too late
to contact me to make arrangements to meet your commitment...
