Funny you bring up karma. Getting ripped off by Matt got me to thinking
about karma. I'm pretty trusting ie. I don't lock my house or my car
(some people would say this is stupid), but I don't get ripped off.

Matt's a dickhead. He ripped off a bunch of people. It's even worse when
it is by someone you "know".


While everyone's fears about getting "ripped off" may or may not be well
founded; it is not my impression of Matt that he would do so intentionally
or have the need to acquire a supply of midges in that manner. Frankly,
it's indeed possible that life changes may be preventing him from following
through. As just as frankly (and morbidly), after seeing him drive his
Honda CBR600 crotch rocket, it's also quite possible that he's in the
hospital or dead. Whattaya say you give it some time & hope for the best?

Well Joe, after not hearing ANYTHING for a long period of time, we
finally heard from Matt around XMas. Before that other participants were
echoing your sentiments, trying to give him the benefit of the doubt
since we hadn't heard from him in a long time and he was ignoring
emails. His email around Christmas explained that he had "misplaced" the
flies on a fishing trip and was embarrassed to tell us about it but he
had found them and was finally getting them out. So, at least up to that
point, he WAS a dickhead and his choice to ignore emails and ignore us
wasn't due to life changes or getting injured or ......

Since that time no one in the swap has heard a word. What are we
supposed to think?

If you know the guy maybe you could get us some information.
