Erica .. what you've described is an important lesson for any business .. and one
that most learn once they get burned .. receive required payments and/or legals
before delivering the product. - Some businesses types (wholesale supply being an
example) .. need to take more risk by providing before payment is received . but
successful businesses are those that learn what clients to steer clear of. - And the
grapevine works wonders as a protective measure for the industry in general.

For what it's worth, I'm a strong believer in karma .. hopefully the burner in this
case will have some karmic justice delivered upon them in some way shape or form ;)
