Hmmm. This sort of thing happens now and again...at one point Ernie Mayer's phone access got screwed up in a move, people were wondering where he was. He's a maker with a *good* rep and myself and others told the people waiting he'd probably make good in full. Sure enough, he did...and I myself have since done biz with him with excellent results.
So...I guess where this leads is, it's often valuable to get feedback such as "that's odd, he's usually cool" and you can stop worrying, don't go running to the credit card company just yet, etc. These sorts of posts often sort things out without actual harm done to anybody, I think.
Or...phrased another way, if a guy's already built up an honest rep, that rep can survive small "glitches".
