I see no reason to trust BBRV, but I also see non to believe Mr Hare either.
i may have more reasons to distrust BBRV, but i never said I "trust" Garry Hare. I just have no emotion about it. He's not selling me anything. So I don't need "trust".
He's not offering me a job, so I don't need to concern myself with his trustworthyness. Although, His behavior in public shows respect and a healthy sense of humor and if he's like that in a business setting, he's probably great to work with. But that's just my guess. It doesn't affect me personally, so i really don't care.
the t-shirts that were delivered months after he claimed them to be produced
I listened to the audio files from his speeches at amigawest and what I heard was this: he was asked about t-shirts. His reaction indicated that this was a new topic to him. He tried to be witty and say they were 'at the printers'. the next sentences indicate that he's thinking on his feet and quickly says he'll work on getting that problem fixed.
I listened carefully and several times to get a sense of what he was saying and what he meant. i don't think I'm wrong here.
I remember that sometime last summer there was a news item here that informed people that they should go to the official site and update their address and other club info. Now, I've never joined that club, never paid to get a t-shirt, i'm not involved with any of that stuff, but even I realized that this news item meant that someone was collecting info to maybe mail SOMETHING out. like maybe a t-shirt. several months pass. presumeably to collect and double check the info and figure out how many shirts have to be printed. at the beginning of this year, people start getting a package.
I see that and it looks to me that Hare made a promise and kept it! good on him!
obviously faked AInc-address
i can't say it's obvious. the facts are not in yet. as i mentioned over at amigaworld, since i am in New York I will happily go into manhatten when i get the chance and take a look.
Making assumtions before facts are in just creates a mess. at least let me get over there first!
his rather cluless interviews
so he's not an amiga user. why does that make him "clueless". as i said before, maybe him being an outsider might be good. it may mean he's objective and interested in running a successful business.
your "Scenarios" for the card are more conspiracy theories. without more info on everything that actually happened i am just uninterested in imagining any possible story. it's just boring.
