The reason I posted was because of the runaround I felt I was receiving:

Multiple ignored Emails, ICQ requests, even though they were showing online. When I finally did get someone to respond on ICQ, he promised to check with their "bookkeeper" & get back to me within a few hours. That never happened. When I contacted him again he basically said the check is in the mail. When I asked why their NATS was still showing a pending status, he ignored my question.

I'm now happy to report I received the missing payment yesterday.

This could have been avoided if the sponsor would have simply answered questions via Email and/or responded via ICQ. I've no idea why they list three ICQ addresses for contact and then ignore messages.
