Whatever Happened to Pheromone Proof?

[Futurist]

Futurist seemed to me like an unusual fellow. When his website first came out, it was awful. I offered to help him clean it up in exchange for a bottle, since at the time I did not have a spare $80. He agreed. After I spent about 10 hours working on editing and improving it (which was more time than I expected it to take and had I know, I wouldn’t have made the offer in the first place), he largely ignored my changes and then never sent me the bottle. When I contacted him some months later about it, I got the impression he thought I was trying to scam him out of a bottle. I refused to buy a bottle simply out of principle when I did have the money.

You shouldn’t have bought a bottle. You were owed a bottle. The impression you got that I thought you were trying to scam me probably came from my shock and surprise when I learned you never had received a bottle. Of course nothing in my words implied that I thought you were lying. I guess you just were surprised at my surpise, and that’s how you interpreted it. No problem. I hope you got your bottle and thanks for your hard work.
