Jason,

 > ok, obviously i touched a bare nerve

I don't think there was ever or is any "bare nerve." To me, and perhaps 
only to me, that implies some sort of agony, perhaps even 
incapacitating. That's not quite what has happened, much less continues. 
It did take a fair stretch of mental taffy to get a handle on what was 
unfolding though. But it all came down to one simple acknowledgement - 
when one is faced with lunacy, it's dealt with straight forward and 
accepted at face value. Trying to figure the loonies out is not going to 
alter their "reality."

All a bit sad or disappointing. But once you know you're dealing with 
lunatics or shades of the same, there's no real "nerve" they can hit. 
About all they can do is force others to perform a little maintenance, 
such as the timeline Keith posted.

 > of which i know nothing about,

Which was largely why Keith went to the effort to draft such a long 
legend of madness - and that's actually the abridged version.by about 
two or three thousand percent.

 > and apologize

Not necessary when done unknowingly. There are occassionally those who 
intentionally try to stir the pot just for grins and giggles just to see 
what might come up. They would be from whom an apology might be owed.

 > for bringing up bad memories. sorry folks.

A sad state of affairs and enormous waste of talent and time for all 
concerned, yes. But I wouldn't go so far as to call them bad memories. 
In fact? The grassroots biodiesel sector probably got a break by the mad 
hatters revealing themselves so readily. There's obviously some good to 
be had even along such a debris strewn path..

No worries Jason.
