George,

  Let me say one thing, YOU'RE AN IDIOT!  I suppose no one has ever not paid you before?  You receive payment on a regular basis from all of your clients I guess.  When your client is 4 hours away and you would have to take time off of work, unpaid I remind you, when you're self employed, cost of childcare when you have 3 kids, plus lodging and the cost to file the case, it's not worth my $1,000.00.  This is based on principal only.  I'm warning everyone in the long run.  $1,000.00 won't make or break me, but some may be owed a lot more or do a lot more in the long run.  This was the least amount of money he's owed me for a long time.  I've always got it before.  How about this George, I'll let you know when I get my check, then I won't be a dummy anymore.  Keep your opinions to yourself when you're going to be so condescending to everyone.  You don't know what situation any of us are in.
