Well, who knows. The concensus on the list seemed to be that Lonnie
wasn't worth talking to, but you went and did it

Anyways this just proves one of my rules on retro projects: fund it with
your own money or real investors. Don't take cash in advance from
individuals. When things go wrong, it just results in a lot of anger and
hurt feelings.

And sorry to say, but the other side of the coin is don't give anyone
money in advance of the product actually being in existance. Whoever
gave him cash should have been ready for it to go poof.
