Hi
Lets face it. All we have is conjecture.
It is convenient to hate Bates guts. It is easy to find reasons.
I certainly do hate the little bastard.

Bates's one problem has been transparency. This makes one very suspicious.
I'll drink to that!
My view is from as afar as yours and almost as old... ;-)
cheers
