Bev's troubles in this area, no offence, are trivial compared to how many
times software from other developers has been messed up (refraining from
my usual language) by Turley. While I'm flattered that I am rated as Mates
like, I must disappoint you, as my anger is purely focused on Turley and
his cohorts. My past posts on csa2 will all confirm this.

It would be nice if such sentiments were offered to others in the same
situation as Bev. Bev once attacked me for criticising Turley for exactly
what he has done to her. She may not hold a grudge, but perhaps she's only
experienced it a single time. Time will tell if her patience holds out.
Either way, I certainly feel for the way she has been treated.

You got it in one.

Once may be a mistake, twice a lapse in judgement, multiple times there is
no excuse.
