Let's not beat around the bush.

Start thread selling T shirts.
Getting several orders in paid and come up with lots of excuses, then disappear of the board.
Looks like a runner to me.
Listen, I don't mind spending money here on the board, or if he has troubles try to help out even I'm not rich.
I hate it when I get kept pulled around by the nose by excuses and then hear nothing for the last months... no explanation, nothing.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck....
