Bob got the blame for closing when he did. Bob got the blame because he ensured and repeated many times that nothing could happen to the money as it was a safe (Escrow?) account, if I remember this correctly. And we all know the word for taking money KNOWING that you will not be able to deliver. And not wanting to know about debt is not an excuse. If you start something and you do it properly for many years - then why not finish it properly, and not with lies? Things can go wrong, but at least be honest about them.

[Ql-Users] IQLR
Tony said It was a really sad end to IQLR. Bob closed the publication just after he had received advanced payment for my year's ads (and others I think). He must have been in real trouble. BobD was in trouble with the bank. They waited until all the renewals came in, then they closed him. That is how they always do it. Bob got the blame for closing when he did. I heard, he had cardiac problems and that he was being treated by the US Medicare. I used to send him boxes of English tea, then the letters stopped. I too would like to know about him.
