Oh no you di-int, GS.
This kind of thing is endemic of the unprofessionalism that goes on here. Any idiot can see that if someone receives goods, then afterwards repeatedly says they will pay, but keeps putting the payment off (oh it's in the mail), then suddenly announces months later that they don't want to pay anymore, is as honest as the president of the united states (which is, dishonest).
Especially if the contractor agrees to provide support and debugging after compensation. If a client agrees to hire someone to work, and the contractor delivers, even if the client is dissatisfied, it is a matter of integrity and professionalism to at least discuss this in depth and negotiate compensation. GS would only be justified in whining here if he had paid tD, and then was dissatisfied with the support and subsequent bugfixes he said he'd perform upon payment.

GS out
Running out the door without paying. Unbelievable.
I think testDummy deserves better. Unfortunately there is a hard lesson to learn here, never, ever take work on spec without insisting for something up front. For the record, testDummy is a brilliant programmer (he will disagree), and with his generous help, taking time to code debug and rework the code base for my prototype, and he delivered with verve and panache-- and took home a big garish trophy award from the Dusmania indy games show. I'm stunned with the quality of his work. I'd pay him in spades, if he'd ever let me. I am sure this unpleasant experience has left him wary of certain 'developers' here on the forum who have big plans for themselves but little integrity when it comes to compensating contractors.

You accuse tD of whining to mommy, but look who wants the thread closed now.
