If they are as intelligent as I guess, they will not communicate on this list. Making this public was a huge mistake. Theo, is this essentially correct? <quote src="http://accounting.kd85.com";> For 4.5, I thought to be better prepared so I wired EUR 20.000 to the Computer Shop of Calgary account before anybody even asked me (I haven't gotten the proforma invoice yet). With a bit of luck by the time 4.5 would officially ship, the extra orders could have brought in EUR 10.000 that I planned on wiring in May to further fund the project. The day the money arrived, Theo decided to suspend the European orders and send me no CDs or artwork. Note the choice of going public not before the pre-orders but after 252 people have already placed and paid their orders, essentially screwing all of them. Later he changed his mind and decided to send me some CDs, but it's not clear how many. In the meantime I have not had any communication or email explaining what the deal is. The suspension of the ordering site was not discussed or announced to me. I had to read it in cvs commits like all of you. To add insult to injury, Theo had first removed my cvs account. This means I no longer have access to the script that runs the ordering site and for every single modification I need to go through Bob. Now Bob is a nice guy but he's busy and it's impossible to get things done. So this posed loads of conflicts where I was looking for new ways to pressure Bob to get off his ass and *fix* problems (instead of being able to do it myself). A bit later, Theo removed my name from the announcement mails and classified me with the rest of defunct developers. I guess I'm in good company ;-) </quote> When have you last spoken to Wim personally? Best Martin
