Yes, you are welcome to your opinion on incompetence; but I still take
exception to the claim that there is anything dishonest about the way
we are conducting business.

I can see how you might feel "misled" at this stage by comments made
by Jane Lee and others over the last year or so.  I want to point out
two things: (1) everyone is acting in good faith...when they said "I
expect X to happen" they really did; and (2) those things may *still*
happen.  I wish I could be specific.

(By the way, I guess I deleted all the "nice" things in your message,
Harry.  Sorry about that; I read them but didn't have anything to add.)
