You don't think it's important for people to know that the person they are donating money to has taken money from boardies, in some cases years ago, and have not provided what was promised? I don't think we need to deify the party being donated to, reality works just fine. If they have shortcomings, and owe people, then that's part of the story that needs to be told. No sense in hiding facts in order to raise the final tally. Full disclosure to people throwing money at someone doesn't feel like thread-crapping...at all. That's the type of context that anyone donating should want to have given the enormity of the latitude the person being donated to has been given. Something that would have had almost anyone else on one or more "lists". There are folks that are out significant money, and plenty of folks that have supported this same person for several years in that mix, and it's appropriate to have the full measure of reality injected into that conversation as it seems their loss is being muted. Not sure how the two things go hand in hand. I can definitely understand the people who have been waiting for 3 years for art to not donate since they may feel like they have given Matt more then enough. But mentioning he owes art to people in a charity thread doesn't seem to make much sense unless you think he has misused the money previously given him which should be pointed out if you have proof. Having people like myself donate some money to Matt should in no way stop Matt from living up to his promises and will hopefully help him get the art to people who have paid for it. I don't know anyone involved, but if someone paid for something three years ago and hasn't received anything I don't know what definition of "misused" you are using. I was thinking along the lines of drug habit, hookers, etc. I love Matt and I love his work, I have for years. I've talked up his art and talent to everyone who'll listen. I don't know anyone else that's commissioned him to do a large format oil painting, but I did, and it's a favorite piece of mine. That being said, taking cash for a job to be completed in short order and then disappearing for what amounts to years is "misuse" when you've been paid to do a job. I did so suck it, Caira xoxo greggy

My other computer is hooked directly...no WiFi. I get near 100 Mbps, and I've seen these delays on that one too. PS - tell your employer to sack up and get a real connection.
