That is wonderful news! I hope everything works out well for both of you.

A thought: should a situation like this arise in the future, and last-ditch attempts to collect payment don't bear fruit...instead of a totally public name-them-shame-them, how about a PM daisy chain? As in, I tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on, and so on...

This gets the word around in a non-public, non-confrontational, non-overtly-shameful way, and it's just as if all of us were really part of a literal village and could easily spread the word over our back fences, face to face.

Then, if/when the situation resolved, a nonspecific public announcement could be made, to clear up the offender's reputation and so forth.

Also, I like what BigBro said. And, last but not least:

AlienTiki said:

"Small claims court or Samoan Collection agent.

I might pick the latter. Do you know any collections type guys?
Just a thought. I never like to call the lawyers unless I have to."

I think the simplest solution would be to follow the great example of Gonzo and hire a Samoan attorney. That way, you've got all your bases covered.

:lol:

Congrats, Flounder!
