It exactly because of an answer like Lizard's 
that if you make a list, it shouldn't be 
permanent. 

I once made an order to Mangaya a while back 
(this was when he literally took forever to 
repsond to emails. I'm told he isn't quite so bad 
anymore). I had every intention of buying the 
cels I ordered from him. When I hadn't heard from 
him in 2 weeks, I took the money and spent it on 
an extra class that had an opening. 

Now, I really DID have every intention of buying 
the cel at the time. But by the time he got 
around to answering my initial email, I had spent 
the money on something else. Thus, I was banned 
from ever buying from him again.

I sometimes see cels on his site that I wouldn't 
mind buying, but I'm "banned" from buying his 
stuff. 

My point is, don't make your lists permanent. 
Maybe someone really did die or have an accident. 
They shouldn't be punished forever just for not 
being able to pay you. Everyone deserves a second 
chance.
