Unfortunately, internet communication is very impersonal, and many
people use this fact to commit deeds that they would have never
attempted face-to-face. I've encountered such behavior more than once.

I don't know whether you have any legal means to enforce what would
normally be considered a binding contract. On this list, we are a
small community with a rather high degree of familiarity, which in
turn generates an expectation of credibility and honorable behavior.

It is rather disappointing to learn that such an expectation can be
no longer assumed, nor anticipated. I truly hope that this matter
can, and will be resolved amicably.
