Hi,
well just an update: Matt has been in touch and I think he’s going to make things right.
This was really a tough decision to make the post and now I’m not sure it was the right thing to do; but I am certain it wasn’t the wrong thing.
I had to think of more than just myself and/or Matt’s reputation because it was sort of a time issue thing where I was afraid others might fall victim while I sat on the fence.
I know Matt can’t read this, but I DO wish things had went different.
Its obvious I like Matt and if you knew the circumstances you’d likely agree it was a tough decision that left no clear rightous path to take.
To have elaborated further was IMHO not going to accomplish my main goal which was to keep anybody here at CAP from buying into possible trouble; but could have possibly put Matt in a worse light than already was necessary to get my point across and also still not enough time to have passed to have merited it.
As for the Prof; he has nothing to be ashamed of at all.
Rather he should be proud that he runs a tight ship and I’m quite certain his decision was as hard as was mine.
Matt’s young and in retrospect I think he’s just made some bad decisions followed by something I think we all were guilty of at one time or another when we were young, which is not staying in touch and rather than doing what was promised on time; letting time slip past and then not wanting to face up to that fact; put off longer what he knew he had to do and I think what he absolutely had intended to do;
but like a kid; he didn’t follow up in timely manner.
So to sum things up I would say that a fair warning would be that if you enter into a financial relationship with him; expect to have things drawn out much longer than is first thought;
and though this was only part of our situation; on any business dealings it might also be wise to pay as you go; rather than upfront.
