Look at it this way... whoever is the shadowy person who has a vendetta against you, he/she is probably rubbing his hands and thinking, "Exxxcellent, zitboy fell right into my trap. Muwaahahaa! He's too cheap to buy a sub. I hope he doesn't!"
If you don't pay up, you lose. If you pay, you come back stronger and zittier than ever. Your choice.
