I don't recall this subject being discussed at all, with the exception of two similar comments, one each in two separate threads, that I made in the past. Please point us to the threads you mentioned.

Also, I cannot think of a more useful/helpful subject for "looking forward" than one that encourages people to insist that provisions are made to insure that the non payment to subcontractors due to organizer default does not happen again.
