I received complaints that I should not call Mr. Dolan a "thief".
Please read the above more carefully; that is not the intent of the
sentence.

For those of you unfamiliar with colloquial English:  The expression
"Once a thief, always a thief" could also be stated "a person who
has stolen can never be trusted again".  The sentence refers to Psygnosis;
because past products had problems, can the current product be trusted?
I said they could.  Kent, several times burned, was expressing doubt.
