Slim,
I'd be carefull about stating how poor someone's reflection is based on his post above. There is no indication that he did or didn't try to contact them subsequent to that communication. And if you are privy to what kind of communication took place, you probably shouldn't be airing this publicly either. He also may not be as tight with them as you are, though I understand your defending a friend. I know I wouldn't feel right contacting someone who had offered a gift and didn't come through with it... it is just that... a gift. If I had to ask them about it, I would feel like a mooch. Other people may be different and handle things differently, but unless you know the whole situation, you shouldn't cast dispersions on someone else.
