Thanks Wayne and Bill -
This is amazing stuff.
This really needs re-reading a few times.
Bill's considered replies really show that he has been on a huge journey since the Gateway days. His surprise at the leaked contract really showed that they completely took themselves out of the community these last few years. The new/old product fiasco is evidence of yet another shafting (I already knew about Merlancia etc) - but there are too many revelations to mention.
Let's hope this whole episode is a turning point in, not just luck but also, attitudes to one another in the community.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. :-)
Bty - I am also amazed by the minimig revelation. :-o
