Random, just be glad you found out now and kept your efforts from going into another horrible myspace clothing line by a less-than-honorable business practitioner. Of course I have none of the backround, but you should probably just take it as a sign and break all ties with this person... especially if you know them only from myspace. 6436 Post 2008-08-17T21:59:08-04:00 167314 6468 2008-08-17T21:59:08-04:00 i know him outside of myspace too, which is what really sucks. i'm just going to talk to him about it, cuz it makes him look shitty, and i know he can do better. 6436 Post 2008-08-17T22:00:34-04:00 167315 173 2008-08-17T22:00:34-04:00 That does suck. Sorry if I was being overly presumptious. Communication is always best, especially if you consider him a friend.
