Sure, he comes out of the woodwork and throws down the "it's free" card, but he shouldn't have held a contest in which he had no intention of honoring.

Any reasonable person would have begun by now to assume the worst.

What am I supposed to believe? I apologize if I was too quick to jump to conclusions, but I assure you anybody would assume the same, given the situation. Especially after the extended time period with no contact, and plenty of posts on your blog, at least showing you're still around. Sent you an email...
