No I didn't hear about that but it's yet another theory about why it didn't happen! Why don't they just tell us what went wrong instead of trying to forget and hope we don't notice. It would silence the sceptices for a start, well not really as they have demobstrated they cannot be trusted so why start now?. I would love not to have to worry about things like this, it would be great if I still felt confident in the TMO. They should fess up to everything and try to rebuild some trust, people won't fall for it again. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
