   Y'know, it seems to me that people who are the recipients of others
money or goods in sale/trade deals would know enough to keep the others
informed. It's a bit of a pain to have sent out whatever in faith and
then have to sit and wait for the recipient to get off of his/her duff
and at least inform the sending party that they have whatever was sent
and will be sending whatever out whenever, don'tcha think? Sometimes
it's really not worth the frustration - the frustration and guessing is
much more *expensive* than the cost of what you're dealing for, usually.
Get a clue, people - be ethical and timely when doing deals over the
net. (ambles down from soapbox, looks about sheepishly and hobbles off
"...with wandering steps and slow...")
