Y'all,
 
Why do we have to go through this every time? If it's not Eugene then it's someone else. Then we get the reports from other people that they are also having (or had problems in the past) with the person. Then we get the wild speculation about what *might* be happening. Then we get the messages that say "I've dealt with this person before and they did alright by me". So there's a Big Mystery and people who have sent money or posters have to go through all the worry.
 
All this could be AVOIDED if the person in question would just have the simple courtesy to TELL his customers what is going on. One rumor says Eugene had deaths in the family. That's sad, of course, and everyone acknowledges that something like this could cause any person to get behind. Same thing if he had to move suddenly. But -- and this is important -- how much time and effort would it take for him to send a quick email to the people he owes something to and say "Hey, sorry, but I've had some problems and am behind right now but I'll make sure you are taken care of as soon as I can".
 
Or, if there simply wasn't time enough for that... hard to imagine... but if so, then how about just one single public email to this list letting everyone know there would be some delays, but not to worry?
 
I mean, seriously folks, how hard could that be? How much time would it take, no matter what problems you are having in your personal life?
 
I'm not just talking about Eugene -- I'm talking about all the other people who pull a similar stunt. We hear about them almost every week on this list.
 
To fail to send just a quick message of explanation which would prevent people who have trusted you from worrying... well, it really is not acceptable, no matter what is going on in your life. It is a simple, common courtesy everyone owes to any person who has entrusted them with their money, their posters or whatever.
 
There really is no excuse for not doing this. I'm sorry. There's not.

For what it's worth, I've done business with Eugene on a couple of occasions
and found him to be a standup guy.
