I think mistakes were made but attacking everyone involved won't achieve any positive results. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --AWPme4oYHHsk3S0wyJ5qq8uBNKGZido2m-- --Dfb89j1723L9zFot341vqJ5ixcKpqkUga Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJanZpFAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfPhfIIAIzJC+Q0OpElb5dEBJoGgT2v QirJTWYenCHVv2Hc17BgxYLZvcJ/yek2iREP5R5YuW0qJNkLobVVGYFFGm8TEXTS uvRflLbW8oYA1NAqqFyv56t6YvUTbZS+jNfIPUoM5eH1dxCj+fUo+y+bnP2NVTP7 H5rgIi4aeEnSjjOk6+BMPmn15vL+cqHbtOx9E8sjdFDnLy8J1VV0kG6CIHQf3mdk 2hF9AZ82ts3dR8gZYWv+heTdj969t6rj7oeRzoXPO2FKyclk+VW47276WXmS0Wr3 PbEmb+TD92RImp/4oh0evw0O5Ok++MzvAWN6eZgDUM64upkeQOt7MTHU0gOFJDk= =1s1U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dfb89j1723L9zFot341vqJ5ixcKpqkUga--
