That many huh?

I'm also a shareware author (RABIRTH, a BBS utility). I mucked up the
registration details; when I released it, I didn't know you couldn't cash
personal cheques from overseas in Australia. In January of this year, I received
such a personal cheque. Being the kind of guy I am :-), I sent it back, with the
registration number, hoping that the registree would be honest enough to send
the proper cash/bank draft. Luckily he was. However, 1.5 months ago, someone
else did the same - I've heard _nothing_ from him, via electronic mail or post.
Okay, it took a month for it to get there and back in January, but 1.5 is
stretching it..    Good thing I'm putting a new key system in the next version
:-)

(not pleased :-().

PS I've also received 0 problem registrations from Bulgaria, Singapore, and the
US, so I'm not doing too badly either. Strangely, none from Australia.. (and we
are only talking $8AUS registration!!)
