Oh yes....
One more thing. Go read this. Then do something about it.
"My name is Connor Cochran. I work with Peter S. Beagle, the man who wrote THE LAST UNICORN, A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE, the "Sarek" episode of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, and the screenplay to the original animated LORD OF THE RINGS (not to mention a whole lot of other classic genre works). Right now Peter needs help -- BIG help. Which is why I'm sounding as loud a rallying cry as I can. You will find all the details up on the web at http://www.conlanpress.com/youcanhelp."
Why do people think they can get away with stuff like this?

It reminds me a bit of when my ex stupidly went out by himself for some off-trail mountain riding and broke both forearms. Very sad...he's self employed as a clown and stilt-walker so having such a dangerous hobby begs the question of his possessing any common sense at all.
Of course, all his performing friends did a 'benefit show' fundraiser for him and showered him with care and concern.
But then came the time a couple of years later that he cheated me out of my half of the business. StatuEscapades; the statue business which I'd started under the umbrella of his entertainment company which was MY idea and which was covered in the divorce decree. He got around it by simply refusing to give me the referrals since all the clients only know to call him!
I was penniless and in debt and out of luck and yes, I had made some stupid decisions .... but was there anybody there then to help me out and offer me sympathy or anything? Nope. I made it, of course, but....
Yeah, some things are just right and wrong.
